Illuminating designs…

Here are just a few of the great lamp designs that are being produced by year 9 DT students. The lamps were to be designed flat-pack, and assembled by the end user, adding an extra challenge to the project. Students developed skills in creative design, CAD/CAM and electronics. Featured designers this week are Tiffany Chong, Christophe Hatterer, Ryan Krishnamohan and Megan Lam.    

Yr 9 Lamp Project -designer of the week!

Well done to Shaun Tan in yr 9 for being the first to complete his acrylic lamp. Shaun has developed many skills in this project, such as creative design, CAD/CAM (laser cutter), vacuum forming, hand tools and electronics. All in all, a great job and a great final product!  

Mr Roper’s Designer of the Week

This week my Designer of the Week is Krishna.  In this lesson he really pushed his practical work, showing initiative and a desire to invest in his design spending extra time to finish this part of his work to a good standard. He also learned some new skills with drilling and knowledge of countersinking.  Well done!
