S.T.E.M. success

A group of Year 9 and year 10 Design and Technology enthusiasts took part in the annual Rotary Technology Tournament in Katherine Warrington School last month.  The students competed against 220 other students from 12 secondary schools from around Hertfordshire.

The young engineers had to design and build a vehicle to remove debris in a pipeline, using a switch, a battery / motor combination and a speed-reducing pulley system.  The teams were judged by the evidence of their planning, analysis of the design problems and constraints, development work and communication, as well as the realisation and final testing performance.

Our Year 10 team won first prize in the Key Stage 4 / intermediate category with an incredible performance!  All four Beaumont teams did a fantastic job and were a credit to the school!
