Blairgowrie High School Design And Technology Show Racism the Red Card 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 PKC Education Perth and Kinross Council

Our Nat 5 Engineering pupils had a fantastic visit to the Cross Tay Link Road sites as part of our STEM week BAM UK & Ireland Perth and Kinross Council #crosstaylinkroad Blairgowrie High School Design And Technology DYW Tay Cities #engineeringcareers

S3 Graphics are enjoying their first week back building Lego cars, modelling Lego bricks on CAD and constraining them to make a vehicle. #graphics #designtechnology

In the run-up to the Christmas holidays, our Graphic Communication students worked on re-designing the festive Irn-Bru can. Creating their virtual can and designing a new label before bringing the two things together to make a virtual product. #BlairgowrieHS

Today S2 rejoined the Design and Technology department. The class started with a creative thinking task - something from nothing. These were the ideas they came up with from a squiggle. Well done 2Q. Blairgowrie HS #creativethinking #Design #becreative

S2 classes have been working on designs for their Pokémon using the Subtract/Add/Manipulate ideas technique. Well done to everyone. Here are some examples from 2R. Blairgowrie HS

S3 Graphic Communication class have been working on a packaging project looking at surface developments. #graphiccommunication Blairgowrie HS

The S3 Design and Manufacture class today had a challenge of looking at how an idea can be developed through showing alternatives. Lots of ideas to help how they think when creating their own development. #designandmanufacture Blairgowrie HS

Thank you Stuart from BAM UK & Ireland and Adam from @bakerhicks_1957 for meeting our Higher Engineering Science class. They brought life to our structures unit by talking about construction management, structural engineering and career paths. Blairgowrie HS #DYW

Thanks to all the organisations who supported our Intro to Trades event. Our S2 group took part in fun and inspiring activities, demonstrating the breadth of  opportunities in trades and beyond. Special thanks to Rembrand Timber & Travis Perkins for supplying wood.DYW Tay Cities

Pupils in Practical Woodwork have been using the new portable power tools this week. Thank you to the parent council for the grant. Blairgowrie HS

The S3 Graphics class have been trying pen rendering this week. They have really enjoyed learning how to render using a different media #graphics #graphiccommunication

As part of a unit of work on Structures focussing on bridges, our S3 Engineers used themselves to demonstrate the cantilever principles of the Forth Bridge. Blairgowrie HS

Thank you to BAM UK & Ireland and @PTFutures for an amazing workshop with our S3 Engineering Science class on Friday. youtu.be/CdiLYxEOefA. Blairgowrie HS

Thank you to @brightgreenH2 for their excellent workshop with Blairgowrie HS S3 Engineering Science pupils last week supported by DYW Tay Cities. Pupils learnt about hydrogen as an emerging technology for domestic fuel and were able to electrolyse hydrogen from deionised water.

Well done to our potential engineers. All of these S2s will be taking Engineering Science next year in S3.

Just in time for the change of timetable, S2 classes finished their PenPal projects. Blairgowrie HS

The S3 engineering science class today enjoyed building and programming the Lego Spike kits. #legospike #engineeringscience

S3 Engineering Science classes have been learning about structures and examining stability using modelling materials.

Thank you Amanda and Ronnie from BAM UK & Ireland and @PTFutures for hosting our Higher Engineering Science class at the #CrossTayLinkRoad project ( giving us the chance to see first hand and discuss a real engineering project. DYW Tay Cities Blairgowrie HS
