Yr12’s visited Brooklands Museum today, joint trip with Physics. Was great to see so much innovation and engineering master pieces in one space. Thanks Mr C for organising. Good time was had by all. More pictures in replies 👇
D&T leader round table today. CLEAPSS D&T Thank you for coming! We hope you enjoyed the conversations! #DnT #designanzdtechnology Dave Bausor MadeInHethersett @MrScott_T Andy Thomson Sarah Belgrove
Well done to Freddy, Anna, Tony, Alyssa & Jasper who did us proud today. They built and raced an electric car around Dunsfold (Topgear track) against 26 other teams. Big thanks to Mr M x2 for your help & Greenpower Education Trust for organising. Good time was had by all. Charterhouse School
Getting to grips with the new VEX Robotics CTE workcell robotic arm. We are using this to simulate systems in industry & engage students with coding/mechatronics, in order to help prepare them for today’s and and tomorrow’s world. #futureU Charterhouse School VEX Robotics UK
Students are being stretched in Design Engineering today! They are learning how to test different materials. @charterhousesch Matrix TSL #materialtesting
Yr9’s hit the right tone today, who knew the M in #stem stood for Music! Using the Kitronik #microbit lab kits, students were exploring ultrasonic sensors to make keyboards. Charterhouse Music Micro:bit Educational Foundation #crosscurricular
Well done to the 3 @charterhousesch teams who battled against 18 others at the Cranleigh School VEX Robotics UK regional comp. Great effort and resilience shown from all the teams. Although we got knocked out in the Qfinals, a good time was had by all. Thanks @cranleighdeseng 👍
Wheely excited to report that the Automotive Centre Charterhouse School is almost reopen. First challenge it to restore our #willysjeep and #landroverdefender which was taking a rest in the woods. Big thanks to Laim & tractor for dragging it out. It’s gearing up to be a great term!
Fourths(Yr9’s) had the honour of meeting Alex from Alex Lewis and Sarah from Proactive Prosthetics (Proactive). Discussing #userleddesign and #prosthetics. Such inspirational people. Thank you and good luck Alex on the upcoming amazing adventures. Charterhouse School
Hal, Sam & Ali reached new heights today with launching their #cansat. Which was 3D printed & controlled by a Hannah Keating. It was so epic our satellite is still orbiting (code for: we couldn’t find where it landed!) Shout out to Mr R & Mr M for getting this club off the ground!
Tallulah has done a great job designing, building and coding this #hockey ball launcher. She used VEX Robotics parts along with welding and 3D printing. England Hockey @charterhousesch @vexroboticsuk #stem
Yusif in Year 9 has made tremendous progress in building and coding the VEX Robotics UK workcell. This enables students to gain insight into systems in a factory. Next, Yusif will integrate sensors to sort and detect objects…. stay tuned for updates. #stem Charterhouse School
🏁 What a wheely good day at Dunsfold Race Track! 🏎️💨 Our Greenpower electric car team put the pedal to the metal and achieved 11th place overall. Shout-out to our superstar drivers & pit crew: Theo H, Gregorio, Tingxuan, Roshan, Alex K, Austin & Margarita Charterhouse School
