The INEOS 1:59 Challenge didn’t just write a new chapter in the history of sport, the work of the performance team also created a completely new way to run marathons, with their extraordinary innovation in formation of the pace-making team. On 12th October 2019 Eliud Kipchoge,...
Have you ever considered what it takes to fuel the human body to achieve something remarkable, to push it to the limits of human endurance? On 12th October 2019 Eliud Kipchoge, with support from the INEOS 1:59 Performance team, broke the last great barrier in modern...
In order to achieve the sub-two-hour marathon, in a challenge which many thought impossible, there could be no stone left unturned in the meticulous planning and preparation by the INEOS 1:59 Challenge team. One of the major decisions that needed to be made was about...
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’. Watch the videos to see...
Join INEOS TEAM UK engineers and learn how to analyse the data from a training run on board Britannia, the cutting edge 60mph America’s Cup sailing boat. In this lesson we ask, “How do we make sure we get the best performance out of the boat?” The...
In this lesson we explore the effect of balanced and unbalanced forces on movement. We ask the big question of how does the INEOS TEAM UK race boat manage to accelerate up to speeds of 60 mph powered only by the wind? Students carry out a...
In this lesson we explore balanced forces and how buoyancy force is affected by the salinity of water and its relevance to INEOS TEAM UK’s race boat. Students carry out a practical investigation into how forces affect an object in water, and one factor that can...
In this lesson, we explore friction and its relevance to INEOS TEAM UK’s race boat and sailors. Friction: friend or foe? This lesson is one in a series of five exploring Forces through practical investigations linked to the real-life exciting context of the British America’s Cup...
Through the exciting context of the British challenge for the America's Cup supported by the Lloyd's Register Foundation archives, this modern materials teaching resource explores composite and nano materials for GCSE and KS3 Design Technology and Engineering as well as supporting the nanoparticles element of...
This series of three Computing coding lessons uses the real-life context of the America’s Cup race start in the form of a coding game to support and engage students in learning to code. They are challenged to code their foiling race boat to cross the...
This Physics and Design and Technology topic covers the relationship between force, area and pressure. It uses the context of the British Americas Cup team INEOS TEAM UK to illustrate calculating values in a hydraulic pressure system and demonstrates the use of hydraulics on the...
This Design & Technology topic covers terminology used to describe the properties of objects or materials, different materials used in the construction of the boats, and why these different materials are used. It also looks at the different materials used in the construction of the...
