Materials and their uses
This Design and Technology topic looks at some of the modern and composite materials used by the British America’s Cup team INEOS TEAM UK. It examines different materials used in the construction of the boat and why they are selected. It also looks at the materials used in the construction of the crew’s clothing and the properties of these materials that make them suitable for their use.
D&T Contextual Challenge
This Design & Technology resource has been produced to give students the opportunity to practice a contextual challenge task ahead of their GCSE NEA based on the real-life and exciting context of the British America’s Cup team. It has been designed to lead students through a single cycle of the iterative design process.
Featured Resources
*STEM Crew Mini Challenges*
We have put together a series of fun STEM Crew Mini-Challenges. These practical challenges are a great way to learn about the Science that INEOS TEAM UK’s Designers and Engineers apply to the design of British America’s Cup race boat, ‘Britannia’.

*Remote Learning Projects*
We have put together a series of 6 student projects which can be used either in the classroom or at home. These projects are based on the concept of Big Questions – a Big Question is a way of guiding pupils to make links between distinct subject areas and relate them to the world around them.
Modern Materials
Amaze your class by making flexible glass fibre in front of their eyes. Through the exciting context of the America’s Cup sailing, supported by the Lloyds Register Foundation archives, this teaching resource explores composite and nano materials for Design Technology and Engineering as well as supporting the nanoparticles element of the Science curriculum.
Code for the Cup
This engaging activity will promote computational thinking, whilst providing both a challenge and a competitive experience. Throughout this topic, students will understand the importance of coding efficiency by exploring a range of algorithmic solutions developed using code blocks. They will sequence instructions to develop a program which they will test and then make further refinements.
SCHOOL STEM VISITS
STEM Crew HQ is located at INEOS TEAM UK’s ‘state-of-the-art’ base in Portsmouth. This educational resource centre for students and teachers helps support and promote STEM learning in schools. We offer a range of free workshops aimed at supporting the KS2-4 curriculum.
SAILING OPPORTUNITIES
Sailing is a fantastic sport that gives young people the opportunity to learn a wide range of skills, and provides a great platform for applying STEM learning, which can lead to career opportunities they may not have considered. Sailing develops key life skills, builds confidence, fosters team work & cultivates resilience.
