PowerPoint Slides

Please download the slides below to deliver the Pillars of Growth: Advanced Manufacturing session.

There are 3 versions available – a PowerPoint and a video with recordings of the Future U team delivering each slide, and a PowerPoint without recordings.

Both PowerPoint versions have notes and links on each slide to support the delivery.

Project Management Task

The main task in this session is to complete a “Project Management” task, which requires learners to work in groups to fulfil an order for multiple jets with the winner being the team with the highest profit.

Learners will produce the jets using a template, foam and scissors and must also complete a fully costed finance sheet. Facilitators will be able to impose fines on the groups based on the quality of the production and how the group work as a team.

Ideally, the learners will work in even groups to ensure each group has an equal chance to win. Groups of 4 would work best.

Here you can download the Student Finance sheet, Facilitator Finance/Instruction sheet and spare copies of the Jet templates and Fine sheets.
