From a CyberFirst Empower event promoting STEM Careers for Year 8 girls to STEM career talks for Year 9s. This week we highlight a 3D Design workshop for our Year 10s at Runshaw College.** At the start of November, Head of Department Mrs Qadri, invited her Year 10 Computer Science pupils to attend a 3D Design: 'Design to Make' workshop at Runshaw College. This event meant that pupils could put into practice the skills they have learnt in their GCSE Computer Science lessons and take them to a higher level. Using creative inspirational concepts and source, pupils were guided through a mini design cycle, using drawing, analysis and material exploration to create their very own designs for what will end as a final finished outcome. Mrs Qadri added, "The pupils had a great time at Runshaw College and the event helped them to think about the different courses that they could pick when applying for college. They had a chance to look around the workshops and see examples of work students at the college had created. We even met a few of our ex -pupils whist we were there!" #### Slideshow, please scroll>> [Careers](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/careers) [Computer Science](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/tag/computer-science) [ Eco Fashion club to continue after Christmas](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2022-12-13-eco-fashion-club-to-continue-after-christmas) [Year 9 pupils put languages to work ](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/news/2022-12-15-year-9-pupils-put-languages-to-work) ### Penwortham Priory Academy Crow Hills Road Penwortham Preston Lancashire PR1 0JE 01772 320250 ### Useful Links - [New Year 7 Transition](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/transition) - [The School Day](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/the-school-day) - [Facility Hire](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/facility-hire-at-priory) - [Term Dates](https://www.priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/termdates) - [Letters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/letters) ### Useful Links - [Newsletters](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/newsletters) - [OFSTED](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/about-priory/ofsted-report) - [Online Payments](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/parents/internet-payments) - [Staff Contact](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/staff-contact-list) - [Vacancies](https://priory.lancs.sch.uk/staff/vacancies) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/priorystc) - [X](https://twitter.com/@priorystc) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/penworthampriory/) Penwortham Priory Academy Trust is operating as a single academy trust.
