In Year 7, pupils are making a battery powered car. The car moves as soon as an item is placed on top. Pupils make their own pressure switch which enables the battery to power an electric motor. The car transmission uses a rubber band and a pair of crowned pulleys. Pupils designed their own body shape, tested its fit to the chassis and cut out the final version from 3mm acrylic with a XTool P2 laser cutter. James Murray / Paul Unwin

STEMbotic and Drone Coding Workshops!
This week, Year 6 & 8 pupils took part in exciting STEMbotic and Drone Coding workshops.
The pupils showcased their engineering, mathematical, technological, and scientific skills by building and customising robots. They tackled tasks such as navigating zigzag paths and took on real-world challenges like designing a robotic arm to safely remove ‘nuclear waste’.
In addition, in the Drone Coding workshop, Year 8 learned how to code drones for precise movements and creative patterns, even teaching them to flip!
A huge thank you to Mr Barclay and Mr Anderson from @hyetteducation for delivering such an inspiring and engaging experience.
