DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

All pupils in Year 8 have enjoyed working on a class project involving designing and building their own vehicle powered solely by a Leaf Blower.

Pupils have been inspired by similar designs which they have researched and investigated through ‘Youtube’ and searching on the internet. The pupils have been building a version using skateboard wheels which has enhanced their designing and problem solving skills.

So far the pupils have really enjoyed this project and it has been great to see all pupils working collaboratively on this project. Pupils have demonstrated superior negotiation and communication skills. We obviously have some budding future engineers within the class.
