#Engineering #design #physics #Space - this @PlymColDesign @PlymColScience trip had it all!

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Year 9 have enjoyed tie dying this week with some very creative outcomes #dt#stem#plymouthcollege

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Another incredible London weekend trip complete! This year we ran a design and physics trip jam packed with lots of sight seeing and stem based activities. More picture to come #dt #plymouthcollege #stem

Great work 9c! They have completed their smart watch project which included 3d printing, packaging design, laser cutting and modelling. Fantastic outcomes

Year 10 have got stuck in to their dyson project this week. Some excellent design thinking from the futures next design engineers @Dyson

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Sustainablility was a big focus of the day in dt today. Year 10 showed good knowledge by debating who had the highest or lowest carbon footprint in their group

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Sketch modelling concepts in paper and card. The quickest way to visualise ideas and identify areas for development. Some great modelling this term from our design students #dt#modelling#productdesign

4CP had another successful lesson coding their stop bits to run a traffic light program today #stem #dt @microbit_edu

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

An informative afternoon with 6th form product designers at @magmamoulding learning all about injection moulding and all things plastic in an industry setting.#dt#dtfieldtrip

Ready for year 4 this afternoon with our new @bbcmicrobit and stop bits. Traffic control lesson today

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Year 4 had great fun in our lesson today coding their #microbits to count their steps. We then had an exciting step off to see who could get the most in 20 seconds @microbit_edu

Year 7 are working hard this morning to add the 2 point perspective technique to their dt toolkit. Next week they will apply this to their architectural designs

[Nichola Lisney @nichola_t]

Well done to year 9 who have been developing their modelling skills this week to make models of design classics

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Some experimental sketching and development happening in sixth form this afternoon. Playdoh and cardboard make great modelling materials

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

Our young designers club have been hard at work making some resources for sustainability week workshops. This week involved filming some processes recycling plastics

Our Blue Tit (which we think needs naming) has laid 9 eggs! Fingers crossed for 9 chicks. #plymcolbiology

Impressed by year 7 this week who started their architectural designs inspired by the work of the inspirational Zaha Hadid #dt #dtwork #studentwork

[Plymouth College Design @PlymColDesign]

We had some very excited year 5 students last week who completed their finger skateboards project. Some excellent examples of wood lamination #dt
