St Marylebone Teaching School Art & Design Department
Cargo Connect
On Saturday, 22nd January (DT Club students) won the robot design for the First Lego League Competition. Dedicated DT Club students took part in the regional finals at Bechtel’s offices in Park Royal. They showed excellent teamwork and, in the short time that was available, prepared and competed this season’s Cargo Connect Project and Robot Mission!
For the Project, students investigated and designed alternative power sources to transport goods to reduce the impact on the environment. They were also delighted with the 175 points scored by successfully programming and completing their robot missions.
Their teamwork paid off! They won the Robot Design Trophy by showing the judges how effective they were at working together.
Well done to Lea, Megan and Misha in Year 11, Isabella, Mia and Sara in Year 9 and Georgete, Ioanna and Penelope in Year 7 for their hard work Lego building, project making and participation in the competition.
We are hoping to welcome new Lego Roboteers to DT Club on Thursdays after school to continue with our quest for the top prize!

Our radish are coming along quite blissfully at the moment as we are getting a lot of sunlight coming through the windows on the third floor.
For anyone who saw our last blog post with growing updates, our first crop of radish greens has progressed:
Now that we have the Blog back up and running, I thought it would be nice to get back on track with the posts that were planned in earlier on this school year.
It has been claimed that keeping houseplants helps to remove pollutants and reduce stress, therefore increasing focus and creativity, but sometimes caring for your plants can feel like a full time job. There’s so much to remember, from feeding your plants to making sure they get enough sunlight.
We know the instinct to water them is strong, but over watering is the most common way to kill houseplants.
Generally speaking, plants like to dry out in between feedings. If soil is left too wet for too long, it can cause root rot. Letting your soil dry out before watering is key for plants to receive the perfect balance of water and oxygen. So how do you know when a plant needs to be watered?
Tips:
This was our first autumn crop of this school year!
We had spicy radish to set off this years growing
The first trip to the Tate since Covid 19 struck and it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying working from the original pieces… what a good day! @tatebritain @tate @drawing
We encourage you all to apply, entering the work you are most proud of. It is an excellent exhibition if you get through as three students did last year… Good Luck!
