12th JuneYear 8 Design Museum trip
On Tuesday 6th June, the Design and Technology faculty accompanied 30 Year 8 students on an educational visit to the Design Museum in London to take part in a Sustainability Workshop.
During the workshop, students were introduced to a range of innovative and sustainable materials, including plastic products made from chewing gum, pineapple leather, and engineered reverse wood. They also explored SMART materials, substances that respond to environmental changes, such as photochromic, hydrochromic, and thermochromic materials, as well as shape memory alloys.
Building on this new knowledge, students were challenged to design creative and sustainable products that address real-world design problems. Their ideas reflected a strong understanding of the materials and demonstrated thoughtful, original thinking.
It was wonderful to see the Year 10 Product Design, Design Ventura competition entry on display.
Throughout the visit, the students were exemplary representatives of the school. They displayed excellent behaviour, enthusiasm, and a high level of engagement in all activities. Their conduct and participation were a credit to themselves and the school community.
