SCAREd yr 9 designers.

Year 9 spent today's lesson improving their ideas for phone holders. They were introduced to SCARE - a system used to help them focus on exploring their ideas even further:

Scale - alter the size

Change - the shape

Adapt - by adding extra features

Rearrange- by swapping bits around

Eliminate - reducing clutter

It was hard work, but they all agreed that their designs were better by the end of the lesson.

Next week they will be using CAD to draw their designs ready for laser cutting in acrylic.

Collaborative Brainstorming

The AS Product Design group explored their thoughts on a design challenge using the whiteboards to record their thoughts and ideas.

Year 10 electronics

10B started their speaker project today. Working in pairs and using a PowerPoint guide they started to solder the PCBs with little to no help from me! Great progress today :)
