@Scalextric4Sch @SilverstoneIM Will upload once I download them all to the computer.

A great day @SilverstoneIM taking part in @Scalextric4Sch students really enjoyed the day! All their #engineering work and #CAD skills really paid off as they were crowned 2024 champions! Really proud of their hard work!

@Scalextric4Sch @SOLIDWORKSedu The white colour is a clue! Back end probably should be a little longer.

Another #scalextric car, ready for 3D printing! Can you name the car? @scalextric4sch #engineering #crealityender3v3ke @solidworksedu

@Scalextric4Sch @SOLIDWORKSedu They struggled with this one! Ford GT40

[Mr M. Lane @MrLaneDT]

One finished #scalextric car, the group today were on track testing using the wind tunnel. @Scalextric4Sch #engineering #crealityender3v3ke @SOLIDWORKSedu

Had a great afternoon with @ItchenAbbas reception class, they were making bird boxes after being involved in the #BigGardenBirdWatch They were amazing! Would love to have them back in the future! #DT #DesignTechnology @RSPBEngland

Five of our #engineering students represented the school at the @QinetiQ Schools Powerboat Challenge. A great event and so proud of their resilience, teamwork and problem solving skills!

Open evening was busy for the department! Lots of interest for @Scalextric4Sch #engineering #designandtechnology

Our visual learning journey is starting to come together. Showcasing the work produced by students over the past year. #designandtechnology #engineering #learningjourney

Yr9 #gcseengineering group creating new #lego pieces. They have used @SOLIDWORKSedu so accurately, most snap onto real pieces. @LEGO_Education @LEGO_Group #3dprinting

@RyanBallDT @DT_SLE @Andy_ThomsonDT @OCR_DesignTech @DTassoc Easily policed, it’s obvious they are computer generated. The way the AI works means they are not original ideas anyway. And there are already methods of finding out that they are AI generated. I’d be more worried about things like ChatGPT.

[Mr M. Lane @MrLaneDT]

#GCSEEngineering challenge, design a #Lego vehicle to travel 1m in 60 secs. Compound gearboxes calculated then modelled and tested. Great work!

[Mr M. Lane @MrLaneDT]

Great to see the #Yr7 #mechanicalcharacter models being accurately reproduced in the final materials project. #dt #engineering #mechanisms

@LiamTAnderson You could use something like a structure strip to help analyse the question or suggest key points. The technique I like is elaboration starts of simple, gradually increasing responses. They then use the sheet to structure the exam question response.
