Specialism: Year 7 & 8 Electronics-Making the torch

This week we have been making our torch

We had to finish our final designs so our sides of our torch could be scanned, resized and printed.

We had a deadline to meet


skills to use


 techniques to practice


quality had to be high

Once our designs were printed they had to be cut out


then a template was made


to draw around on the foam- so it is not wasted


our designs are then laminated


for durability and protection


a hole is punched in the laminate in a suitable place for the split ring


the first hole is used as a stencil for the second hole


we are left with foam and laminated sides with holes punched in place

we are ready to finish the torches next week- cut holes for the cell, a slot for the LED, punch a hole in the foam for the split ring, stick it together and attach the split ring- a lot to do but the hardest parts are now complete!
