Take a sneak peel at our next STEM project: "Tiny Houses" and start thinking about how you could create a smart tiny house.
Today, six Year 7s ran a Makerspace at the @NatEduSummit, demonstrating how to use @SAMLabs and @SpheroEdu to create interactive smart houses. Thank you to our amazing Year 6 team for creating such great models for them to work with! #primarySTEMchat @misskyritsis @PennyAllen11 pic.twitter.com/0qsXm5VzBH
