We took part in the 'Girls in Aerospace' activity a couple of years ago, but reckon we have improved the design.The pupils made the hovercaft using insulation board, a battery powered leaf blower and damp proof membrane for a skirt. One push will go the length of the sports hall (with a pupil sat on it)!

This was part of a trial two day summer school, the other day we got SETPOINT in to make buggies etc. Quite successful really.
