Friday High Fives 🖐️go to Henry in Year 9 for winning First Prize in the Green Futures Instructables Competition! His innovative idea for a Power Generating Turbine for drainpipes was 3D printed and constructed with Vex parts in our Design Technology & Engineering workshop.
Farewell and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has made my time a blast at Highgate (18yrs!). I have such happy memories and honoured to have worked with so many talented students and staff. I wish Ms T and the other new staff the very best of luck.
Ian is all set and excited to be part of the @teentechevent competition today, hosted at the @TheIET. There are 120 students from around the UK taking part. Good luck to everyone involved. #stem

Retro Arcade Machine - Students at Highgate School made this retro arcade machine, powered by a #RaspberryPi, and using our deluxe stereo amplifier kit, arcade joystick, arcade buttons and clear Perspex. Would you try making this at your school? #dtkitronik.co.uk/blog/retro-ar…

Another great Fusion 360 Marblevator design by gzumwalt involves grippers that pass a ball between themselves before the ball goes down a slide and repeats the path.

Great entrepreneur skills shown today. The students managed to exceed their target and raised £385, selling their school made combs. Big shout out to Mr L, for bringing this all together. @fairinthesquare#highgate#Sustainability#recycling
