Antzelo Rek, 3D Artist

Planned and delivered KS3 and KS4 Design & Technology, Food Technology, and Textiles (Year 7–11), including chocolate packaging design, felt keyring stitching, sushi making, and vegetable gratin. Supported Year 11 GCSE NEA projects across dye sublimation, 3D printing (PLA, PETG, ABS), laser cutting, 2D CAD with TechSoft Design Tools, and pewter casting using targeted verbal feedback on design development, material choices, and fabrication decisions. Embedded AFL strategies using hinge questions and verbal feedback; used the DT comment bank for skill-focused written feedback and accurate TAN grade reporting. Planned tiered resources and in-lesson adaptations using EHCP, SEND, EAL, PP, and FSM profiles. Managed homework/behaviour via Satchel One, completed virtual Parents’ Evenings, and contributed to ARD meetings to set termly targets.

Delivered well-structured KS3 lessons aligned to AQA D&T, covering materials, forces, energy, electronics, systems, designing/making skills, iteration, research, CAD/CAM, and prototyping. Demonstrated workshop processes including sanding, filing, cutting, and technical drawing. Adapted teaching using PP, SEN, and EAL data to inform seating plans and created pre-planned and hinge questions to extend challenge and reinforce learning. Supported a form group with pastoral responsibilities and attended whole-school CPD, including a guest lecture on everyday sexism in schools.

Delivered hands-on VR workshops using Meta Quest 3 and Gravity Sketch, teaching VR setup, hand tracking, digital sculpting, and exporting via LandingPad. Showed how VR models transition into 3D printing for real-world outputs and explored intersections between VR/3D modelling and fashion, graphics, and design. Supported final pieces exhibited at the end-of-course show.
