This term, our Learning and Engagement team has been delivering the Powering Up programme with BOA Digital. The students have been learning to use Blender to create virtual exhibitions. It’s been amazing to see the pupils learn how to use Blender and see what they’ve created!

We’re right at the beginning of our journey with our future home in Digbeth on Great Barr Street. It’s a big space with so much potential, and we love the echoes of its seed mill past! We look forward to incorporating these details into BOM’s exciting new home.

We can hardly believe that the Water Bots weekend fun in Dudley was three weeks ago! 😱 On our last day at Warrens Hall Nature Reserve, we took them into Netherton tunnel and we quickly realised they are spectacular in the dark… 🤔💡

It’s been a busy day introducing Year 8 pupils to art curation with the help of our guest artist and curator, okcandice. 🤩 The pupils were then set the task of creating a unique exhibition space using Metasteps. We loved seeing their outcomes, ranging from exploring different cultures to horror!
