Welcome to the Covid Compliant Primary Schools Glider Challenge

The Glider Challenge offers primary schools a unique opportunity to begin to engage students ages 9 to 11 with STEM subjects.

The challenge is designed to engage as many young people as possible with an authentic Science, Mathematics and Engineering challenge. The challenge and supporting curriculum resources were devised to help equip students with the skills, knowledge and experience that they will need to embrace and tackle the global opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.

The project is fully resourced with lesson plans, printables and activity guides made freely available online on the Dendrite Education Community.
