Instruction sets
Students will explore the difference between RISC and CISC instruction sets by navigating a rover to different locations on a given map. They will explore how increasing the range of instructions can reduce the number of instructions required but increase the amount of data required to store the commands. They will...
Instructions, flow charts and decisions
For this session students will think about what instructions are needed within the software of the ExoMars rover and how they will make the hardware work to complete tasks successfully. There will be a focus on three steps within computational thinking: identify the problem, decomposition and collecting data. After...
Is There Anyone Out There?
This resource was funded by the UK Space Agency and developed by ESERO-UK and CIEC Promoting Science. It is based upon the quest to discover more about the solar system through space projects such as the European Space Agency’s Aurora programme, and NASA’s Curiosity mission seeking to gather evidence of life on the...
The James Webb Space Telescope is currently making observations of distant stars and planets, following it's launch in 2021. It is a highly technical design which has taken many years to be designed and made....
This collection of resources has been written for design technology teachers to use primarily as part of the curriculum in lower secondary schools. The resources also include a guide to the James Webb Space Telescope , written for teachers and STEM Ambassadors.
All activities include elements of design that...
James Webb Space Telescope Guide
Designed for teachers and STEM Ambassadors, this guide to the James Webb Space Telescope contains sections on the design of the spacecraft and instruments, and the science objects of the mission. Advice on which information is appropriate for primary and secondary level is included.
James Webb Space Telescope: Designing the Primary Mirror
This activity looks at the primary mirror of the James Webb Space Telescope exploring the challenges that faced scientists and engineers whilst they were designing it. Linking to tessellating shapes in...
