KNEX STEM Workshop 2025

12 February 2025

On Thursday 13th February, 30 pupils from Year 5 took part in the STEM Works KNEX challenge.  They were given an Engineering task to design and make a machine to transport a small load (like soil), using only KNEX pieces.  Naomi and Ewan won this year’s challenge and will represent the school at the upcoming final in June. 

All pupils worked brilliantly, demonstrating fantastic teamwork, problem solving and communication skills.  Sarah (who delivered the workshop) was extremely impressed with all of the vehicles built. We will keep you updated on how Parkside do in the final.
