Design & Technology at Nottingham High School

Huge congratulations to two of our very talented year 10 students. Having already won the Leicestershire event George and Rumaysah competed in the Science and Technology Finals representing the midlands. They performed excellently and achieved 3rd place out of 800 other students.

Twas the night before Christmas holidays and all through the workshop not a creature was stirring apart from the foam computer mice the year 10 students made. @Year10_NHS @SLT_NHS

On Friday the first of our year 10 pupils completed the folding stool project they’ve been working on this term. They’ve done an amazing job and learned lots of new skills along the way! @NottsHigh @Year10_NHS

A busy lunch time in DT today. A mix of year 8 students designing their stoves and some working on their scalextrics car designs. Year 11 working in their projects and year 12 students designing and building their satellites for the CANSA. @Year8_NHS @SLT_NHS

Eco schools club have joined us in the workshop this lunchtime to build some bird boxes to encourage biodiversity in our grounds. #somuchmore #makingadifference @NottsHigh

We are all ready for open day. Make sure you come and say hello and take a look at the amazing work our students have produced. @SLT_NHS @NottsHigh

We have populated the Cabinet or Curiosity with a vast range of nostalgic items. Challenging the students to think about how technology has changed the design of products through the years. @SLT_NHS @Year9_NHS @Year8_NHS @Year7_NHS @Year10_NHS @SixthForm_NHS

@Year9_NHS students ended the year learning about sustainable design and up-cycling some old stuff. From coat hanger lamps to wine bottle wine glasses. @SLT_NHS @upcyclethat @reupcycled
