Streets Ahead! STEM Challenge with V&A Dundee
Streets Ahead! STEM Challenge with V&A Dundee
Streets Ahead is a STEM design challenge run by V&A Dundee aimed at S1/2 students asking them to redesign their local shopping centre or high street. The project aims to encourage collaboration across subject areas to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and accessible shopping experience for members of the community.
Six S1 pupils showed fantastic collaboration and teamwork skills, recreating a new and improved model of Portlethen retail park. As finalists in the 'Streets Ahead' competition, they have now been invited back to the V&A next month for another workshop and to view their model on display in the museum. They have also won a trip to Sky studios to experience creating a news report based around their eco-friendly and sustainable model of Portlethen shopping complex. Some photos opposite of the pupils in action!
