Mrs Sheldon and the DT team organised a GCSE Design & Technology taster session for Year 9 students. Each student selected one DT area they wanted to explore further ahead of choosing their GCSE options next year.
The event was a great success, giving students a real insight into the range of skills and creative opportunities within the subject.
In Engineering, students designed and constructed foil boats, testing how much weight they could hold before sinking.
In Resistant Materials, students learned how to make a wooden joint.
Food Technology students prepared dough balls, and in Textiles, students created fashion illustrations using natural objects for inspiration.
Student feedback was extremely positive.
Phoebe said that the session was “very fun” and that seeing the variety of work produced in Textiles has inspired her to potentially choose the subject at GCSE.
Erin shared that she enjoyed making the boat in Engineering and is now excited to choose Engineering as her GCSE option.
Well done Year 9, we cannot wait to have you all for GCSE next year!
