Beijing's Best Dressed Balconies

Over the past term Year 8 Design and Technology students have been designing and making Balcony Spinners.

The Balcony Spinners are personalised and intended to brighten up a Balcony (or Garden) and to spin around when it is windy.

The spinners were first designed on paper, before being reproduced on 2D Design Software. Students then used the Laser Cutting machine to cut out the plastic blades before piecing them together.

Students then set about making the bracket (holder) completely by hand, using workshop tools and equipment to help them.

Here we can see how well ‘I’, ‘K’ and ‘F’ have managed to replicate their initial ‘hand drawn design’
