Our Y10 STEAM students have had a busy and creative year so far, working across three exciting and very different projects.
In Term 1, students tackled our Simple Machines unit by designing and building Rube Goldberg machines – elaborate chain-reaction contraptions created to perform the simple task of transporting a marble to ring a bell. Using mostly cardboard and craft materials, each design had to feature at least three different mechanisms, such as funnels or wheels, along with a retrieval system to return the marble to the top.
In Term 2, the focus shifted to digital creativity as students built virtual reality escape rooms using the Delightex platform. These 3D environments included animated characters, interactive puzzles, and even an augmented reality element inspired by the Rosetta Stone, which helped users crack codes and unlock the next challenge.
We are proud of the creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills our students continue to develop through these projects, and we look forward to seeing their final app designs come to life.
