Eco Club does GO4SET!!

The Eco Club have begun work on their GO4SET projects. These are environmentally based science and engineering projects that will last for 10 weeks.
This work began on Thursday 3rd March at the Scheme Launch Meeting, which was held at Renishaw’s (a large engineering company) in Wotton-under-Edge. The group travelled down in the mini-bus and spent the afternoon and part of the evening at the company. They were split into two teams and worked together on two team tasks, both of which involving bridge making. They also learned how to manage a project and how to write a technical report. The groups were then paired up with their mentors (in our case, two engineers from ARC energy) to begin discussing ideas that will later form the basis of their projects.
The pupils were a credit to the school in their contributions and knowledge and they did very well in coping with a long day.
