We can offer Brighton i360 learning packs, which cover a range of subjects, designed as a guide for teachers to introduce their students to the i360 experience before their trip. The packs are informational and encourage students to research different aspects in advance. During their visit, students can then see and connect what they have learned in real time.
Subjects covered, along with the related content, include:
o How does the i360 work? (mechanics, lift systems, counterweights) o Building tall structures: stability, design, materials
o Forces in action: gravity, tension, compression
