Tech First Workshop

Last week, nine of our fantastic Year 8 students had the incredible opportunity to visit the iconic Old Trafford for an immersive, hands-on workshop day dedicated to all things technology.

Throughout the day, students stepped into the shoes of real-world innovators as they collaborated with industry professionals from four cutting-edge companies, including global giants like Lego. The fast-paced workshops pushed their creativity and technical skills to the next limit, with students taking on roles as game coders, AI engineers, and product designers.

During the event, our students successfully tackled four advanced tech challenges:

• Coding unique video games from scratch.

• Stepping up as AI engineers to problem-solve complex digital scenarios.

• Designing and prototyping functional smartwatches.

• Developing custom AI mascots to enhance website user experiences using advanced AI generators.

Beyond their impressive technical achievements, the students represented our school community fantastically. Every mentor and organizer they interacted with noted their exceptional attitude, enthusiasm, and focus. They dove into every single workshop with curiosity and determination, proving themselves to be true ambassadors for the school.

We are incredibly proud of their hard work and the exemplary standard they set. Well done to our future tech leaders!
