Tuesdays is for robotics 🤖 teams allocated, builds initiated, programming and engineering notebooks are a go VEX Robotics UK

Year 10s gaining 2 new skills today (revolve & rendering). The students definitely became the master today MadeInHethersett HethersettAcad

One of the year 10s asked if they could finish off their card model. If they get any better I'm not sure I'll be able to compete 😳

Working on some future CAD/CAM lasercut ideas. It's been a while, let's see where we can go next... MadeInHethersett HethersettAcad

Polymorph modelling Monster Magnets with the year 7s. Some outstanding design work and practice models. Unfortunately no one appreciated my contribution of Egg Sheeran #dadjokes #notevenadad #inlovewiththeshapeofyolk MadeInHethersett

Finished off the CAD models, so tried something different with the year 10s, sketch modelling something a little more organic. Lots of "user testing" involved 😅 MadeInHethersett

Year 7s finished off their smart materials project today. Whilst they were doing that, I found another use for the googly eyes 👀🫨 #endofterm #eggsheeran

Working on contextual design challenges with the year 10s, in preparation for NEA. From water transportation systems for developing nations, to haptic wayfinding devices for the visually impaired and proximity safety sensors for cyclists. Pretty taken aback by their ingenuity💡

When 3D printing go wrong. If anyone asks, it's a cloud-based-storage system ☁️ #3dprinting

The first Principal's Weekly Awards of the summer term go to Isis Y7 and Josie Y11 for #WorkingHard, Gabriel Y8 & Victoria Y9 for #EmbracingOpportunities, Oliver Y10 for #TakingPride. Here is Oliver's amazing 3D model work in DT! Inspiration Trust

Absolutely bowled over by the level of creative thinking and skill these Year 10s put into their contextual design challenges 🤯 scooter designs that "grow" with the user, clever water carrying devices and kitchen products for amputees are among my favourites #Cardboardeverywhere

Defying the laws of physics. Somehow this managed to print without support 🌪️🌀😵‍💫 MadeInHethersett HethersettAcad #3Dprinting #SOLIDWORKS #cadcam

Working on team names and logos in today's Hethersett Academy Robotics Club 🤖 some interesting concepts 😅 as well as some creative engineering MadeInHethersett VEX Robotics UK

From initial sketch to final model, Lego Movie eat your heart out #LEGO #cadcam #everythingisawesome MadeInHethersett LEGO SOLIDWORKS Education
