Design & Technology
The team of four Year 8 students, who last summer won a prize at
the Science Technology, Engineering and Maths event at Exeter
University have, over the last year been in negotiations with the
Transport for London Organisation. Unfortunately the organisation
has decided not to develop the partnership further and will
not allow use of their name. The team of four girls, Charlotte
Puddicombe, Menna Shore, Lucy McMurray and Mia Poore, now
plan to develop another chocolate concept in conjunction with the
Eden Project. The team hope to negotiate with the Eden Project
during the summer term the possibility of selling their products
in the shop. The chocolate shape, which reflects the panels of the
biomes, will have flavours that link with the crops grown in the
domes. The girls have already researched which price-point
to target in relation to the other chocolate products
available at Eden.

take a new direction –
supported by the
Totnes REconomy Local Enterprise Forum
A group of Year 12 Btec Design students have been working
on a live project to develop the corporate identity of this new
musical, based on the Transition movement. The musical project
is being part-financed by crowd-funding donations. In March,
the students were briefed by Chloe Uden, from RegenSW and
Matt Harvey, the celebrated poet, who is the lyric writer. They
were asked to present ideas that reflected the musical's ethics
and principles in a modern and accessible manner. The clients
and public were consulted at various stages and the final designs
exhibited at the D&T Expo in May for the final client selection.
The client gave feedback to all students and announced the
winner – Kal Lawrence – who will receive £100, and negotiations
on rights will be agreed. It is hoped that Kal will be able to develop
his design further into production with real practising designers,
further enriching his learning experience.
The quality of work produced by KEVICC Design and Technology
students was very impressive, and we are really happy to have
had feedback on the designs from the people of Totnes whilst
the work has been on display at the College. We are delighted
with the logo Kal has designed – it’s a winner!
Chloe Uden, SWIMBY Musical Producer
The company recently pitched their new
emerging ideas to the Local Entrepreneurs
Forum at the Totnes Civic Hall. As a result,
they have received offers of further financial
advancements; opportunities to learn about
chocolate production; marketing guidance;
free advertising space; contacts with Fairtrade
supply chains; contacts with food production
engineers and a potential link with the co-
founder of Green & Blacks.
This gave the students a valuable opportunity
to experience the networking process. They
are now following up these opportunities and
contacts, and building their relationship with
the Eden Project team.

Kal Lawrence, SWIMBY logo design winner
This was a challenging brief but I felt it would be a good
thing to do. I needed to convey the message of the
musical visually, and the logo needed to 'catch your
eye'. I reduced the long title and chose colours carefully.
Kal is now in discussion with Chloe Uden and Matt
Harvey about working on the SWIMBY Musical
Songbook as paid work experience this summer.
