Primary Visits
Our high calibre students come from high calibre primary schools; with this in mind we offer extensive support for staff and students in the lower Key Stages with regards to advances in engineering. CVHS staff visit and teach in primary schools to allow year 5 & 6 students the chance to familiarise themselves with the software and hardware they will be using in CVHS.
Lego Club
http://www.firstlegoleague.org/
NXT is the next generation of computer controlled Lego technology. Our expert staff run clubs for primary students here at CVHS as well as going into the primary schools and running training sessions with lots of hands on brick building tasks. This is preparation for competing in the Lego League.
2D Design
This software controls any of our 3 laser cutters. These machines can cut through material 12mm thick to an accuracy of 0.3mm! Primary students learn the basics and get the opportunity to manufacture their designs when they visit CVHS.
Girls in Engineering
Every year CVHS organise a themed event for all primary girls to take part in. 2007 saw the introduction of rocket science to the primary syllabus! Students were required to design and make a water/air powered rocket that would fly the furthest. A very exciting and wet day was had by all!
