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.
Using the real life and engaging context of the British America’s Cup Team, INEOS TEAM UK – students will learn that all products are likely to have some negative impact on the environment.
The countdown to the 36th America’s Cup is on, INEOS Team UK are hard at work towards Auckland 2021.

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. We have chosen 6 Big Questions and added the resources your pupils will need to be able to form a detailed and considered response.
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.
This Maths based topic uses the real-life context of the British America’s Cup team INEOS TEAM UK to show the crucial role of data collection and analysis in developing the performance of both the boat and crew. Students will use data generated by the team to develop their learning of mean, median, mode and range of averages.
Take a virtual tour of our Tech Deck through four short videos which explore some of the science and cutting edge technologies that go into making a winning America’s Cup boat and Team.

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.
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 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.
