Design and Technology STEM Competitions
Go4SET Competition
Over the course of the next ten weeks our enthusiastic team of six budding engineers will be participating in the Go4SET STEM competition, run by the Engineering Development Trust. This is a fantastic opportunity for our young individuals to work alongside Engineers to design and develop a storm proof building. Our team meets weekly to research possible solutions, design concepts, manufacture models and write their report in preparation for the assessment day. Participating in the competition gives our pupils the scope to gain an Industrial Cadet Award and develop their team work, problem solving and STEM skills. Good luck to our 2019 group!
Engineering Education Scheme
A team of six future engineers from our senior Engineering Science classes have been participating in the Engineering Education Scheme. Pupil's were provided with a brief to designing a laser based communication system and they have worked closely with Leonardo, one of UK's biggest suppliers of defence equipment, to arrive at their solution. We wish them the best of luck for their up and coming assessment day!
