Showcasing the work of Kent College's designers of the future, and sharing interesting things we find along the way.

Year 7 students generate their list of the top 5 skills THEY need for the future. I couldn't agree more. #CREATIVITY #PROBLEMSOLVING #COMPLEXDECISIONMAKING #ADAPTABILITY #SOCIALSKILLS

Team BURNKOOL came in THIRD place for their age group in the @BIEAeducation save our shores competition. Well done! Here is some of their amazing work. #stem #biea #COMPETITION #robot

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

Team BURNKOOL have done it again. Through to the final round of the @BIEAeducation #STEM #INNOVATION #COMPETITION.

Excellent shout from Charlie (y8)! Jony Ive famously stole/borrowed/was inspired by Dieter Rams (see last image for some comparisons). Definitely agree that it is easily understood by all ages, how often do you see babies using iPads/iPhones--game changing design. #tenprinciples

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

Amazing stuff, Josephine--Rams would have this in his kitchen! Great point about it being easy to repair, this is a rare thing with stuff designed today! We have the exact same toaster & the exact same frustrations--it's been 2 mins, why is this still bread? #4housepoints #dualit

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

Awesome effort from Maddie, a seriously sharp answer--she clearly understands Rams's philosophy! 100% agree about the product being honest, and it having 'no hidden agenda'! Take some house points! How many though?? Comments below ⬇️⬇️ #design #rams #dieterrams #industrialdesign

Design Challenge! Typography time: Using found objects, spell out your name. OR, use meaningful objects beginning with the same letter! Think spacing, shape & colours. Send pics to [email protected] & we will showcase them! #design #type #typography #homebutnotalone

Calling all makers! A parent at our school (a local GP) got in touch to say they are short of PPE and asked if we could help. Our 3D printer is now whirring away. See if you can help: https://t.co/t8QNFItNpG

Modelling design ideas one stick of spaghetti at a time. Excellent effort Max and Oli.

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

@BIEAeducation, team Burnkool is still game--let's do this! #perseverence #STEM #girlsinSTEM

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

Year 10s ... are you ready (guess you're too young for Gladiators). Anyway, assemble what you can for tomorrow! (Make sure you ask before you take, I was allowed 7 sticks of spaghetti)

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

Prototyping time. Year 5 pupils have come up to KC senior school. They are developing their ideas for robots to clear plastic waste from our shores. #stem #stemeducation #steam #steameducation #robotics #vex #vexrobotics @BIEAeducation #biea #bieastemcompetition

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

@autodesk our students can no longer access fusion360 as we did with last year’s cohort. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[kentcollegedesign @KentCollegeDT]

Had a handful of students up from the junior school today beginning to work on ideas for a robot to clear plastic from rivers and oceans. Little people with big ideas. #stem #steam #robotics #robot #ideas #test #bieaeducation @BIEAeducation

Throwback to last year when we made it through to finals of @BIEAeducation

The photo is of the girls presenting their idea about using drones to help with the conservation of animals.
