Make your own 'Jason' the Gipsy Moth Aeroplane!

Jason is the plane that was flown by famous aviator Amy Johnson on her epic solo flight from England to Australia in 1930! The accompanying tutorial shows you how to construct your own Jason as well as telling you a little bit about Amy and Jason and the adventures they had together. I've designed this children's kit inspired by Geoffrey de Havilland's original Gipsy Moth design.

MGSO4 MAKES

Three films commissioned by Epsom and Ewell Arts Festival are inspired by the theme of Journeys. Children can use the films as a tutorial at their own pace.

In these films I make a rocket with working parachute and construct a version of the International Space Station!

"Creative Engineering in Action" these tutorials inspire creativity and invention.

Activites can be simplified or made more elaborate, it's up to you!

Episode One: Rocket

Episode Two: Space Capsule and Parachute

Episode Three: Space Station!
