St Clement Danes
is twinned with College Paul LANDOWSKI in Paris and Gesamtschule Krefeld-Huls,
Germany in a TEP/ULEAC initiative called the 'European Dimension' This
involves Year 10 Technology students combining to co-produce Design and
Technology projects, using email as the medium of communication. Progress
has been slow at first, with both sides finding out about each other and
building up a technical dictionary.
Our colleagues from College Landowski recently visted us for a weekend and we had a very sucessful meeting reviewing progress so far and making plans to extend the levels of co-operation. During this last year we have run this as a lunch time club, but during the coming year it will be incorporated into the curriculum and so now we are planning a tighter time scale for the tasks.
Rolf Willemsen - Fachbereichsleiter Technik/Projektkoordinator, Gesamtschule Krefeld-Huls, and Martin Clark, Head of Technology at St Clement Danes School have devised a 'Smart Wire' project that students at the two schools are currently working on.
