Working in conjunction with MFL, the project was inspired by the artist Michael Landy, a contemporary British Artist whose recent works incorporate machines and body parts. 

Taking this as a starting point we asked pupils to create a design/blue print for a machine that would be useful to them. It needed to include body parts, cogs, wheels etc. Pupils then used their language skills to describe the machine as it was intended for 'the European marketplace and needed translation'.

Pupils came up with some amazing designs. Machines could change eye colour, cook, clean, spy and wake you. 

Our finalists are shown.
