THE MALVERNIAN
STEAM Day
On Saturday 30 April the Design Technology Department hosted 22 pupils from The Elms Prep School for a STEAM day. The students spent the morning in the Design Technology Department learning a variety of skills and techniques including shaping and forming metal to product candle holders and enamelling to produce pin badges and necklaces. The day was a great success with all students returning with their completed projects appearing to have enjoyed the time and having developed a new range of skills.
