Doodle Wall

The DT Doodle Wall went live this week and was a big hit with pupils.

The first challenge was to design how watches will look in twenty years time.


Later in the week Mr Mistry's AS group used to generate ideas for each other's Product Studies.


The doodle wall was an old whiteboard that the school was throwing out. In DT we always try to re-use whatever we can!

Teamwork rules!

The AS Product Designers learned how useful collaboration was this week.

Working in small groups they worked together to generate rough ideas for each others products. They all agreed that is was much easier than coming up with ideas on their own. The results were pages and pages of post it note ideas that will help them on the next stage of the Product Study coursework.
