In conjunction with NYBEP, students have been asked to create a new product. In DT lessons, students will be focusing on producing a product aimed at helping the elderly or less able that is environmentally friendly or connected with road safety. NYBEP will select the teams that will be helped to develop their projects over the next few weeks. These teams will present their ideas to the year group and two teams will be selected to represent the school in the Selby District Final in July. The prize is £200 for the winning product and design.
