Top Designers in Year 8

Year 8 Design & Technology students demonstrated their excellent Design skills when the College took part in an IET  Faraday Challenge Day on Tuesday, run by Mary Southall and Kevin Jones from Attainment Partnership.

36 students brushed up their Design and Technology, Science and Maths skills to design, develop and manufacture a mechanical device that could simulate a robotic arm. The students were marked throughout the day at every stage of development.

On the day, team two comprised of Jonathan, Liam, Danielle, Lucy, Natalie and Scott just beat the runners up by 4 points with a superb 160/200. A great fun day for everyone involved.
