Mega impressed by my class's work but the DSLR model is particularly great!

S2 DET are getting used to using Inventor, some amazing work from our pupils getting started using sketches and extrusions:

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Had a great time working with DOBA Studios to shred old bottle tops and form them into new plastic products. We've definitely got some ideas for the new school year eh @MrsGallacherDET

[Mrs Gallacher @MrsGallacherDET]

Brilliant afternoon at Doba studios in Edinburgh today with @MrsWalkerDET learning how to upcycle plastic waste into useable objects ❤️

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Fantastic little project @MrsGallacherDET got going this week

[WCHS Technologies @WCHSTechnology]

Some of our BGE pupils are getting brilliant results with paper LEGO minifig surface developments, loads of them being inspired by pop culture icons!

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Loved this project and seeing the pupils really grow in confidence with their CAD skills so quickly

[WCHS Technologies @WCHSTechnology]

Great work from the new S3 Graphics class finishing up their robot projects before summer. They got super creative designing components to assemble around a standard body so there's an amazing range of robot designs!

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

@MrLinnDTEd This looks fantastic! Such a cool idea

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Some of our brilliant Technologies pupils had a shot on flight simulators today! Massive thanks to the staff @gsc1 and the Newton Flight Academy for teaching them how to use these really cool rigs in the Newton Flight Academy ✈️ @WCHSTechnology

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

At the top is the logo a pupil made for their first N5 Graphics project. With the same brief a year later as a Higher pupil he came up with four more. I love that they are still similar but you can see his confidence with the software and his style develop!

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

@MissWrightTech DM me your email and I'll send over a copy, but honestly it was just 20 text boxes with 20 questions in it and the kids got a blank table as a worksheet to fill in numbered 1-20, the only real prep was finding the hiding spots

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Welcome to N5 PWW- have a revision quiz scavenger hunt! This worked so so well, every kid on task determined to find all the questions hidden around the workshop, they traded answers, helped each other! Perfect. And I got to check everyone new to my class knew the fundamentals

[WCHS Technologies @WCHSTechnology]

What an excellent showcase of enterprise today with @MissComrieBusEd & @MissNeillyBusEd’s #BGEBusiness classes. Preparing their smoothie, submitting their business plans, and presenting to @MrMurphy_BusEd, @MrsWalkerDET, & Mrs Young @WestCalderHigh #weAREwchs

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

I'm singling out Kelly's tea light holder that was finished today. Done entirely by hand and it's as precise as some that were laser cut. I think it's the cutest thing I've seen in weeks! @WCHSTechnology

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Got some finished D+M tealight holders, used them as a discussion point for how we can be happy with what we made but how do we raise our game next year to achieve N4/N5 levels of complexity, quality and creativity @WCHSTechnology

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Phenomenal work by some of our S1 pupils using the 3D forms in TinkerCad to create some animal models from scratch @WCHSTechnology

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

@MrKaneTech So this might be the best thing I've ever seen. I am absolutely stealing this

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

@MissMcCabe5 @LHSTechnologies @S3LHSYT I tried this with a class today after seeing your post, it worked great! Thank you

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Having a shot with AI generated doodle game (Curipod) with S2 to promote creativity on the last day. Pupils draw then share and vote on the winning drawing. The anonymity on the pupil side really encouraged them to engage but I can keep track of who does what, which is great

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

@whalen_mr This looks amazing. Do you have any resources for teaching it?

[Mrs Walker @MrsWalkerDET]

Got some finished cereal boxes from S2 today. They've created their designs for mascots using the shape tools and different fill and shadow effects. Next we need to justify colour choices and font choices @WCHSTechnology

[WCHS Technologies @WCHSTechnology]

The last students standing as the clock struck 10pm. What an excellent turnout for our first ever #SponsoredGamesNight all organised by our amazing #SCQFGamesDevelopment students. @WestCalderHigh #weAREtechnologies #weAREwchs
