On Thursday 2nd October, twelve Year 10 students had the opportunity to take part in an exciting engineering trip to Nissan. The visit began with a practical challenge to design and build wind-powered cars, which encouraged teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Each group tested their designs against one another, and after a tense set of races, our group was delighted to come out on top and win the challenge.

This was followed by a fascinating tour of the Nissan factory, where we were able to see the production line in action and watch how cars are carefully built step by step. It was eye-opening to witness the combination of advanced technology, precision engineering, and teamwork that goes into producing vehicles on such a huge scale. The trip was not only enjoyable but also inspiring, giving us a real insight into the world of engineering and manufacturing, and showing us the potential career opportunities that could be available in the future.
