#ArborDT - where the magic happens 😉

Building modelled #DaVinci bridges. No fixtures or fittings just physics, friction, accurate assembly & a splash of good luck 🤞

Sir? “Can we #Lasercut a design for a birthday present??” YES WE CAN!! 💥 🤩 #CADCAM #DT #Entrepreneurship

Y8 designing their amazing #clocks “In the style of…” Can you name the styles/themes? These #prototypes would look great in any art gallery or design shop….#commerciallyviable first stage #designing. #Modelling #designthinking #ArborDT @ArborSeniors #CADCAM

@ArborPrincipal @ArborSeniors SAFETY FIRST !! But they great too 😉

@ArborDT @ArborSeniors Loving the working trays!

Developing our character strengths in resilience & tenacity while focusing on the more delicate 👀 skill of soldering⚡️#ArborDT Y10 #GCSE students @ArborSeniors building their amplifier circuits ready for their speaker🔊project. #soldering #DT #DandT

As educators, our job is to #inspire students and to harness and encourage their passions!! But it is also so wonderful that they inspire us - the teacher & when possible EVEN our amazing #technician 🧰⚒️ 👏 the led to even more inspiring #stretchandchallenge #ArborDT

And what about these incredible “Natural form” inspired timber ornaments. Our Y7 with their #Creativethinking matched only by their skill & practical application of machinery & tool 🪚 🪛accuracy. #DT #DandT #ArborDT @ArborSeniors #Skills

Lots of amazing 🤩 end of year photos 📸 coming up from all of the amazing projects that have happened in #ArborDT 🍃 from our @ArborSeniors. Like these great wooden #toy cars 🚙 in Y9! Considering practical accuracy, dimensions and ergonomics and materials and finishes!! 🎨 👏

@Paul_Mc_Guirk @DTassoc They are great for cutting both. the blade is the defining factor. we can cut up to 12mm think MDF, or 6mm acrylic accurately but with caution.

@ArborDT @DTassoc Nice setup. How do you fine the hegner scroll saws. Good for cutting plastic/wood ?

Come and join us! #UAECollab #DandT @DTassoc

#ArborDT Y10s Getting to grips with the different wood finishes & their methods of application🖌️. Full #Inquiry led - what is the best method to apply a finish? Are some finishes easier to apply? why? Does the material impact the quality of the finish? Preference or Practicality?

Sound Word 🔊in the workshop this term from @ArborYear8 in #DandT this term - designing Passive Amplifiers📣, developing our CAD skills & modelling processes, focusing on scale, accuracy & competency in the workshop @ArborDubai @ArborSeniors

Awesome Work from our @ArborYear9 in #DandT this term - designing Pewter Key fobs, working through our iterative design processes, modeling strategies, while understanding & appreciating the influence of biomimicry. @ArborDubai @ArborSeniors

Very proud of the @ArborSeniors demonstrating the power of air with the #DysonSchools project. From initial concept to final product our students have collaborated on each stage of the project. @Dyson_Arabia #DysonSchools #ArborDT

Final update from our students who have been working on the #DysonSchools project. Developing a vacuum cleaner using just a bottle, motor and a bucket of imagination. Very proud of all they have achieved. @ArborSeniors @Dyson_Arabia
