Manufacturing Challenge

It's boys v girls in the AS group this week as they work in teams to make 30 sets of puzzles.

The challenge is a chance for them to learn more about batch production methods. They must assign roles, perform quality checks and work together.

If they can pull it off then it's off to the junior school to see which team sells the most!

Design Challenge - locker organiser

Could you help this poor student?
His locker is in chaos. Even if he tidies it, within days it's back to this.

If you have some design ideas, pass them to Mr Rowe and you can have a biscuit!

DT COOL WALL is LIVE!!

If you've watched Top Gear then you've seen their Cool Wall. Its where Clarkson, Hammond and May post up pictures of cars and decide if they are Seriously uncool, uncool, cool or Sub Zero!
