Year 10 Electronics – LED SLED Project Showcases Creativity and Technical Skill

Innovation, creativity and technical skill were on display as our Year 10 Electronics students proudly showcased their completed LED SLED projects, combining electronics, CAD design and laser-cut manufacturing to create a range of models.

Year 10 Electronics students have recently completed their LED SLED Design Project, combining electronics, computer-aided design (CAD), laser cutting and creative problem-solving to produce unique illuminated display models. Working through the IB MYP Design Cycle, students researched, designed, manufactured and evaluated a custom housing for a fully functioning LED SLED circuit, demonstrating both technical knowledge and innovation.

Each project began with the construction and testing of the electronic circuit before students designed their own laser-cut casing using Autodesk Inventor. The final products showcased an impressive range of creative ideas, including detailed sports cars, a classic utility vehicle, a Batmobile-inspired design, a jet aircraft and an animated character, each incorporating realistic headlights, taillights and flashing indicators.

Throughout the project, students developed valuable practical skills in soldering, CAD modelling, laser cutting, product assembly and testing while learning the importance of precision, planning and iterative design. The outstanding quality and originality of the finished projects reflect the enthusiasm, perseverance and creativity demonstrated by our students and highlight the exciting learning opportunities available in Design and Technology at Norwood International High School.
