pupils have been taking on a challenge from the Royal Air Force as part of their lessons.
Year nine students at Wensleydale School, in Leyburn, spent a day working with a team from RAF Linton on Ouse, near York.
The pupils were guided through the design, costing and construction of a model transport aircraft. The project aims to add realism to curriculum subjects by using exercises to prove the value of team work.
Wensleydale teacher Bob Walker first met the team from Linton at a North Yorkshire Business Education Partnership science, technology, engineering and maths fair, in Northallerton.
He said: "I'd heard about their business challenge days through a contact at Upper Wharfedale School and was delighted when they agreed to come all the way to Leyburn to work with my students."
