Hello

I thought I would just let you know what I am hoping to do in our school. I work at Bay House School and currently have responsibility for electronics within Design & Technology. Along with a colleague I attended the first CPD event at Southampton.

As part of our year 9 curriculum I hope to introduce a rocket car project where they work in teams to produce a rocket car. My hope is that we could deliver a bit of science and maths within technology. I would like to show the pupils how fast the car is hoping to go by doing some speed of sound work.

This will all help raise the profile of STEM within the school and demonstrate how science and maths fits with technology. A technology teacher can teach some science and maths!

I am using and adapting the materials on the website along with all the valuable information that Ian Galloway gave at the CPD event on Saturday 12th
