An early start 5:15 alarm to catch the train. But a great first day at @FosterPartners as part of the @DTassoc in Residence program. Thanks for organising Amelia Wright. Highly recommend you take advantage of this program next year.

Just love being able to lead on this and share the @Scalextric4Sch project with pupils from other local school #teamwork.
Week 2 of Chester Schools Together Masterclasses @BishopsHigh. This week all students completed their car designs on @PTC_creo and started printing on the @ff3dprinters. Before setting some impressive laps on the @Scalextric track. @Scalextric4schools is a great Stem project.

Seriously check out the inspired by industry contexts from @DTassoc
Great contexts our students loving the Scalextric assessable controller project. Having real designers and real world examples makes a big difference. Just started CAD and being able to say we’re using the same software as @Scalextric blew them away. @PTC_Creo @PTC_Education

Year 8 students are really enjoying the @DTassoc inspired by industry contents. Especially the accessible controllers theme from @Scalextric . Today was hands on product analysis looking at controllers across the decades.

Can’t believe we have over 200 people signed up and unfortunately have had to add any new teams to a waiting list.

So happy this is back and better than ever. To quote @MrJamesMay from years ago “ always said it should be on the curriculum”. He’d get my vote.
BBC Look East coverage of the @Scalextric4Sch Final @SilverstoneIM. Thanks again @BoxfordLtd @PDSVISION @DTassoc. Congratulations to all the winners.

Something I knocked up this morning. Scalextric don’t do tractors. But if they did they would probably be the best tractors in the….world. @JeremyClarkson this is for you.
We have 3 cars ready to take to the final of @Scalextric4Sch in June. As we value your opinion which one are you choosing? @JeremyClarkson @RichardHammond @MrJamesMay @DRIVETRIBE. All have been designed by pupils in yrs 8-9 and inspired by the theme of Best of British.
