D&T Trip to the Mini Car Plant

In December, the Sixth Form Design and Technology students travelled to the Mini Car Plant in Oxford. We enjoyed a private tour of the Body in White factory, where we had the chance to see their manufacturing systems and methods of production. Then we travelled to the Assembly factory, where we saw cars develop from the structural shell to the finished model, which is personalised by each customer. Our A Level syllabus for Design & Technology includes manufacturing systems and methods, and robotics, all of which we saw demonstrated in the factory. It was a very interesting trip and helped deepen our understanding.
