Thanks to links with local companies, a group of our year 8 and 9 students, who attend our Technology Academy, recently visited a local manufacturer, Husqvarna, to learn about how they manufacture products in their Newton Aycliffe plant.
Students got to see the range of machines which manufacture parts for their robotic lawnmowers. Students also had a go at the robot machines which are used within the manufacturing and assembly process.
While on the plant visit, students found out about how the company was reducing its carbon footprint and was encouraging its employees to go greener.
