Year 8 Technology Challenge Days. 3rd and 4th June

Congratulations must go to 8W who were the undisputed winners of both of the Year 8 Technology Challenge Days on June 3^rd and 4^th this year. This was a new event for Island School aimed at giving year 8 students a unique experience combining all subjects in the Technology Curriculum Area (Design & Technology, Food Technology, Textiles Technology supported by ICT) in an extended learning opportunity. Students were unaware of the challenge that they were to undertake and in the space of about 4 hours had to produce a food product, a packaging concept for their food with a striking logo, uniforms and a point of sale display.

The contest was judged by external judges who are all working professionals in either branding, catering or the food and beverage industries, and the prizes were sponsored by Noon Copenhagen. We would like to extend our thanks to Ken Wathall, Liz Seaton and Lone Hesselbjerg Morup for their expertise and time on these days.
