HGS Technology Department

@Hutchesons pupils have really enjoyed this programme! They always return to school inspired and excited for the future.

Ogres are like onions. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers..... and so does the plywood for the new curved section of staging for @Hutchesons Drama Dept's next show - Shrek the Musical!

Ms Lovell's @Hutchesons P7s had their plant form sketches laser cut from poplar ply yesterday. The results are beautiful!

Euan is under strict instructions not to get any taller... or he won't fit in the @Hutchesons Greenpower kart!

We are replacing the S3 house wiring project models with new laser cut versions using @AutodeskEDU Inventor Software and the @HPCLaser cutter. These will be easy to repair and are made from sustainable fast-growing poplar wood! More in-house @Hutchesons resources coming soon!

🌳 It's #GreenCareers Week! 🌲 Check out the stories from our @STEMAmbassadors working green jobs, explore the opportunities #STEM brings to mitigate the effect of climate change and see how you can protect our planet with #POP22. bit.ly/3TkrKhG

The Digital Design Club have been learning basic 3D modelling techniques using @AutodeskEDU Inventor software, and 3D printing their keyring designs using the @Creality3dprint printer.

A generous donation to @Hutchesons has made possible the purchase of a @HPCLaser laser cutter for the Maker Space. Look out for creative projects and cross-curricular collaborations coming soon!

The Greenpower challenge project is back on the road! A keen group of S6 @Hutchesons pupils are driving the project forward!

Mr Walker's Digital Design Club signage for the Clubs & Societies fair looked fantastic in the sunlight! Great to see so many pupils interested in developing their skills and creativity!

We're delighted to display our LGBT awareness training certificates in the Technology Department. We always try to make everyone in the school community feel welcome; this excellent training from @LGBTYS will inspire small changes with a huge impact.

Learn how to make custom 3D printed zipper pulls using @Tinkercad with Paige Russell 🤐 instructables.com/3D-Printed-Zip… #TeachWithTinkercad #STEAMed #STEMeducation #MakerEd

Come and sign the flag tomorrow! #Pride

S2 Technology pupils have been learning 3D CAD modelling using Autodesk Inventor software. Their new skills allow them to create models for printing on the @Creality3dprint printer. #STEMeducation

Technology subjects are for everyone. @LGBTYS #Belong

@HutchieSport look at this! #3Dprinting

The giant book from the @Hutchesons Drama Dept. S1 & S2 production of Into the Woods is the most unusual (& largest!) Makerspace make yet! Mr McCormick had lots of fun!

People often wonder what @Hutchesons Technology teachers do when senior pupils are on exam leave... We design new resources! These 3D printed snap-together traffic lights will be used for electronics and microcontroller programming topics. #STEMeducation @Creality3dprint

No maple leaf cutter? No problem! 3D printing to the rescue! @Creality3dprint #STEMeducation

Listen for the little sigh when Yenka crashes.... 🤣 This is an outtake from a lockdown @Hutchesons video lesson. It feels like a long time ago now!
