Design, Engineering and Technology Trip to Bologna

M TS DET students embarked on a journey to Bologna over the October half-term. As well as a tour of the city and a cooking class, we got to visit several factories: Ducati, Pagani and, most notably, Lamborghini, where we were lucky enough to see lots of cars being made on the production line including the first units of their brand-new hybrid model. After these visits it was time for some go-karting on an outdoor track. Conditions were mixed, which made for a really fun session; well done to Ciaran Davies for the fastest dry lap and Nilen Rao for exceptional control in the rain, achieving the fastest wet lap. On the final day we visited the Ferrari Museum, where the group competed in the Pit Stop Challenge, changing a wheel as quickly as possible. The top three (Zachary Scott, Andrei Antohe and Oliver Thomas) achieved a time of just over five seconds. In other awards, Lachlan Sergeant won

Legend of the Trip, and Yash Shah Best Dressed. I would like to thank Mr Wilson and Mr Talboys for their hard work in organising such a brilliant and memorable trip. Alec Meade (5ths)
