The U6 hard at work on their A2 projects



















Year 9 Xmas Malteser giveaway challenge

To kick off their introduction to Product Design, students spend their first lesson learning about innovation.

After looking at a range of products they experience their first mini challenge - design and model a product to promote Maltesers for Xmas - in only 40 minutes!



The winner gets a bag of Maltesers - today's winner was Vicky Newton who had the cool idea of a tube/spoon design, so when you've eaten the Maltesers you keep hold of the spoon!

Here are some of the other cool ideas.
