Speedy Sails explores the design process and asks how forces affect the movement of objects. In a series of ‘training videos’ pupils watch demonstrations on forces and design a racing land yacht, before testing it and making changes to make it more efficient.

This online workshop was delivered in 2021 and 2022 as a Covid-safe version of our Generation Science tour, where kit boxes were sent to schools instead of visiting science communicators. We were able to deliver this experience thanks to the generous support of our funders.
