Junior Scholars investigate mouldable plastics

Junior Scholars Academy students took part in an engaging hands-on design session in Technology where each student created their own ergonomic pen using polymorph plastic.

Throughout the session, students explored the characteristics of plastics, with a particular focus on thermoplastics, and discovered how these materials can be moulded and reshaped.

Key learning was focused on ergonomics and how thoughtful design can improve comfort, efficiency, and usability when creating products for the human body. A thank you to Ms Batley, Ms de Thierry, and Mr McCullough for running this fantastic session.
