Yr 7 Tech Taster
Partnering with the Whittlesea Tech School
Year 7 Tech Taster @ Whittlesea Tech School
Last term on Monday 20th June, a large number of Year 7 students participated in a Tech Taster excursion held at the Whittlesea Tech school.
Students were given the opportunity to use their creative thinking, technology and team skills to develop and create:
- a cardboard version of a vending machine
- a lolly container design of their choosing
Students came away with skills in graphic design, coding and collaboration.
Overall, a constructive and enjoyable day was had by all!
