Month: June 2013

S1-S3 pupils of the design and modelling club have been working hard designing and manufacturing their STEM solar powered race cars and PIC control cars. They are currently engineering and testing the electronic components and software for the cars and have produced vacuum formed plastic shells to enhance the aesthetic features of their designs. For further information, see the extra-curricular section of the departmental website.

Fourth year pupils experienced an informative and enjoyable day out at the Glasgow School of Art where they took part in workshops organised by graduates of the Product Design Engineering course and had an opportunity to take in the graduate exhibition.
This fantastic initiative afforded pupils the opportunity to understand the relationship between Maths, Science and Technological subjects as a foundation for a career path in design.

The day was organised by Mr Honeyman (Physics) and Miss Gallagher (Design and Technology).
