Small Peice Trust Presents Engineering Workshop
Sunday 20th June 2010
On Friday 18 June, all of our Year 9 girls took part in an engineering day run by the SmallPeice trust. From paper, plastic, wooden dowelling and a 75p generator, each team of 5 girls made a wind turbine that actually generated electricity! Each team had to consider not only engineering and construction but also budgeting and marketing as they had to make a 'Dragon's Den' type presentation to see which of the groups were worth a capital venture. The SmallPeice presenter, Mr James Alterman, was very impressed not only by the imaginative engineering skills but also by the presentation skills. Well done Year 9!
