I’m sure that you are looking forward to joining KGS in September and excited to join us here in the Design & Technology Department. For those of you who are new to the subject, you will be amazed at our extremely well-equipped workshops and impressive facilities. You will work on a wide range of design and make projects and quickly learn new skills where you can show us your creative talents. The department is very successful and a popular option choice for students as they progress through the school. We are passionate about our subject and look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with you.
Have a look at these Smallpeice Design and Technology challenges and have a go at building one. • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=AWcrDTnehNc&feature=youtu.be • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=NGE1PMTL08c • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=KkIBeb51hW4&feature=youtu.be • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=RifVlosGJLw • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=cbWCoEaQ_FY • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=AeGS8Rc8y3A
Join our club!
Read it, do it
Problem solvers wanted. We invite you to join our popular Technology Club where creative ideas are encouraged, fostered and rewarded. We have a wide range of design and make challenges waiting for you to try, where new skills are learnt in a fun, friendly and relaxing environment.
As an extra challenge, look at three products from home: One wood, one metal and one plastic. Take a picture, copy the picture into a Word document and explain three reasons why that product is made from that material. Good luck.
