FIRE & STEAM: YOUNG INNOVATORS

FIRE & STEAM: YOUNG INNOVATORS is a strand of the project rooted in the premise that, no matter your age or background, you can have a good idea that uses the latest technology to solve a problem in your locality or your community, in the same way that the 21-year-old William Molesworth utilised steam technology – the cutting edge technology of his time – in creating the local railway in the 1830s.

Tech innovator (& nephew of micro-electronics pioneer, Sir Clive Sinclair), Grant Sinclair, whose innovative designs have appeared recently on BBC television, has been working with Design Technology teacher Gerard McMahon and a group of 25 Year 10 students at Sir James Smith’s Community School in Camelford, to explore the use of the  latest digital and manufacturing technologies to identify and solve real-world problems, in this exciting project that runs to December 2020.
