Please note: A variety of designs are possible and this depends upon the imagination and design skills of the students taking part as well as the time available for the project and whether additional materials are used. The possibilities are endless! See ‘Stadium Project’ page. |

The completed stadium is rather large! The stadium towers are 60cm high with an additional 15cm height for the roof structure. The ‘stands’ containing the card seating are 1metre long but can be extended with more rows of seats. Overall the stadium size could be approx. 1.5m long, 1m (or greater) wide and 0.75m high but can be built smaller than this if space is tight. |

Group size and management of the project The kit contains enough materials and equipment for a whole class of 30 students to be fully occupied for at least a whole day of intensive practical activity but there are various ways to deliver the project and combine other classroom activities along the way. The project could then occupy a whole term if required and be the focal point for a bigger project altogether. Additional materials can be added to extend the project. The project can be teacher-led in a step by step fashion, following the instructions provided in Powerpoint presentation format, or be handed over completely to the whole group after subgroups and tasks have been negotiated. Once up and running it is even possible to allow two or three students to project manage the whole project by allocating jobs and checking on progress. The teacher can then step back and assess progress by the whole group or individuals - and help keep an eye on the time! See the ‘Stadium Project’ pages for full details of modes of delivery of the project and lots of great cross-curricular activities based around the stadium and the Olympic Games.

Notes about the accessories (see also the ‘Stadium Project’ page for more ideas on using the accessories): Single base and tower: Ideal for helping construct rounded corners in the stadium or experimenting with new stadium shapes or configurations. Bulb, battery, wires kit: Ideal for making floodlights for the stadium. The syringes and tubing can be used to make a pneumatics or hydraulics system to move the cantilevers eg. to raise the angle of a roof section of the stadium. The winding up mechanism can also be used to raise or lower the angle of a cantilever. |
