Design and Tech
Year 10 Product Designers have been working on designing and making lamps based on endangered animals of Nepal. Students were taught how to communicate their ideas on paper, model in card and use 2D and 3D CAD softwares in order to use the 3D printer and laser cutter. Students have also learnt the importance of accuracy and using hand tools to produce high quality, well thought out products. All the lamps are now complete and students have learnt valuable skills to take them through to their GCSE coursework where they will work on a personal project to design and make something in an area that interests them.
Idhant in Year 12 was given a more open lighting brief but has elevated his design by incorporating advanced techniques, including laser-cut stained glass elements, 3D scanning clay models which were then 3D printed, and hand-assembling the final components. The project has focused on building upon the skills developed at GCSE, particularly in plastics and timber processing, in order to further develop the technical competencies required for his A Level major project.

Women in STEAM Assembly
By: Luveena (year 9) and Vedansee (year 8)
On Wednesday the 25th of March, there was an assembly in honor of Women’s International Week. The assembly was about Women in STEAM where 4 of our TBS teachers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) were invited to the stage for an interview about their journey, and how students today can achieve a career in STEAM. All the teachers answered the questions with enthusiasm, interest and a great passion for what they do. The entire assembly was a great way of appreciating our women in STEAM.
“I really enjoyed seeing how empowered my Zonta members felt asking important questions about working in STEAM as a woman, I also felt super proud of our community in school participating in celebrating International Women’s week.” – Ms Idriss
“I felt nervous about doing the assembly but I thought it was a really important message and I am hoping that next year we can have more women in STEAM getting involved, especially the arts teachers.” – Ms Thompson
A huge thank you to all the teachers and Zonta members who worked together to make this happen and a great appreciation of all the women in our community.
