Free STEM Activity days in your school or college |
Apply now to host an IET Faraday Challenge Day
The Faraday Challenge Days are one day activities, designed for six teams of six students aged 12-13 years, delivered in your school by the IET. They give students the opportunity to research, design and build prototype solutions to genuinely tough engineering problems. There will be 45 in-school Faraday Challenge Days taking place this season, starting in September 2013, with the winners of each event winning prizes for themselves and their school. The top three teams from across the UK win an all-expenses paid trip to the National Final in June 2014 to compete for a cash prize of up to £1000 for their school.

What's new in this version:
* Folded Panels construction technique
* Maintain designed object size: select this option if you want the construction size of your creation to be the same as you originally modeled it.
* Uniform/non-uniform scale your design to fit a desired bounding box.
* Adjust the slot connections to accommodate easier assembly and CNC workflows. Dogbones and T-Bones can be automatically generated on cut slices.
* Ability to define the cutter tool diameter in manufacturing settings – great for those using CNC machines.
* Output cut layouts in layered DXF format.
