As part of the promotion of the use of technology in the creative industries and world of work, the Design and Technology department took the whole of Year 8 on an exciting visit to the Harry Potter studios in Watford.
This annual visit gives the students an excellent opportunity to witness the design process, robotics, mechanics, construction and costume characterisation, and will provide the context for a range of D&T projects and activities throughout the new academic year. Typical activities will include: designing a new sorting hat, a Harry Potter inspired board game and Marauder’s map, a food dish that could be sold in the Backlot and programming practice through designing a magic 8 ball game.
Some of the students left their own personal comments on the visit, feel free to give them a read below:
