So that’s where our 5 Lincolnshire schools fit’s into the picture…..Part of DATA’s bid to DCSF was about making curriculum projects sustainable if staff members leave the school.Hence teams of 3 staff from different D&T backgrounds from each school (in which the technician is a key player).

So 11th Feb was about cutting edge technology for our 5 schools.We made a surface mounted electronics product and on 11th March session embed it in a 3D printed

prototype.

Staff imagination was the only limit to what was done on 11th Feb………

The outcomesSurface mounted electronics !!!!!!!Back to each school work as a team and develop a potential project.Back on 11th March to work with ProEngineer.Trial the outcome with (maybe) one student.Take lots of photographs at every stage.We’ll provide each school with details of a WIKI to send work to us.We’ll develop a website of your outcomes.

Lets get our students engaged in exciting D&T that is relevant to the 21st C
