Here in Guadalupe even the locals watch @DiddlySquatFarm @JeremyClarkson and asking what’s next.

[Simon Hooks @SIMONHOOKS]

I run this and live in Shavington @connornaismith but I need your help to showcase the role Design and Technology has in our countries future to the DFE.

An early start 5:15 alarm to catch the train. But a great first day at @FosterPartners as part of the @DTassoc in Residence program. Thanks for organising Amelia Wright. Highly recommend you take advantage of this program next year.

You’ve witnessed how football coverage has evolved—what’s one thing you miss about the ‘old days’ of sports broadcasting?”

Only 1 more week to go but it’s such a pleasure to be a part of this.

[Scalextric4Schools @Scalextric4Sch]

Great work. Loving the Mad Max inspired car.

[Simon Hooks @SIMONHOOKS]

Just love being able to lead on this and share the @Scalextric4Sch project with pupils from other local school #teamwork.

[DTE_Bishops @DTE_Bishops]

Week 2 of Chester Schools Together Masterclasses @BishopsHigh. This week all students completed their car designs on @PTC_creo and started printing on the @ff3dprinters. Before setting some impressive laps on the @Scalextric track. @Scalextric4schools is a great Stem project.

[Simon Hooks @SIMONHOOKS]

It’s a privilege to be able to host events like this.

[Scalextric4Schools @Scalextric4Sch]

Great work from all involved.

[Simon Hooks @SIMONHOOKS]

Seriously check out the inspired by industry contexts from @DTassoc

[DTE_Bishops @DTE_Bishops]

Great contexts our students loving the Scalextric assessable controller project. Having real designers and real world examples makes a big difference. Just started CAD and being able to say we’re using the same software as @Scalextric blew them away. @PTC_Creo @PTC_Education

Managed to put this together over the weekend. Love the way @PTC_Creo and @KeyShot3D link together.

What a stunning evening at the D&T Excellence Awards 24, held at the beautiful @BMMuseum! 🎉 Huge thanks to our incredible sponsors for making the night possible. Here’s to celebrating even more innovation and excellence! 🌟 #DTAwards24 #CelebratingExcellence #Inspiration

[DTE_Bishops @DTE_Bishops]

Year 8 students are really enjoying the @DTassoc inspired by industry contents. Especially the accessible controllers theme from @Scalextric . Today was hands on product analysis looking at controllers across the decades.

[Simon Hooks @SIMONHOOKS]

Can’t believe we have over 200 people signed up and unfortunately have had to add any new teams to a waiting list.

[Simon Hooks @SIMONHOOKS]

I’m humbled and honoured to have been awarded the @autodesk Excellence Award for Outstanding Subject Leadership 2024. A massive thank you to all the Staff and Students past and present @BishopsHigh @DTassoc #DTAwards24
