A group of year 12 Newman College students have been spending their Saturday at Bede’s School participating in the regional heats of the UK Space Design Competition. They present their team’s design for a futuristic space vessel to the judges later today. Fingers crossed!

The year 12 Product Design students have been taking apart broken electronic products to see how they could be better designed for repair and recycling. Can you guess what the products once were?

[CNCS_DesignTech @CNCS_DesignTech]

Year 10 DT students have been doing some brilliant team design projects. In groups of four they have been coming up with innovative product ideas in response to the context of “survival”. It’s great to see the collaborative design work continue during online lessons!

Our year 13 product design students presented their brilliant garden studio designs. The year 12s voted for their favourite; which one would you go for?! Well done Cephas, Luke and Gabriel. @NewmanCollegeVI

Some great home making by Josia in year 12 Textiles. Brilliant tailoring and embroidery on display here.

Some fantastic cardboard modelling from our year 10 DT students. Just because the workshops are closed, it doesn't mean the making has to stop! Well done Sam, Sienna, Martha and Frank.

Take a look at some of the great home cooking that our year 8 students are doing in their food tech 'lessons'. A special shout out to Lydia, Joseph and Tarik here. @CNCS_Year8 @CNCSMsJarman
