As part of our exciting activities for Science and Engineering Week, 55 of our talented year 8 students took part in a STEM workshop where they designed, built and presented a model wind turbine. During the day, students demonstrated the core values and qualities of a good engineer: creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving ability, and communication skills. They also applied the design cycle used by engineers: design, build, test, improve. To complicate things further, pupils had to adhere to a budget and minimise the cost of their build but without losing efficiency. We are so proud of year 8!
