Design and Technology is a creative hands-on course that prepares students for the modern word by focusing on innovating solutions to a wide range of problems and scenarios. Through research, sketching, computer modelling and simulation; students will develop design ideas. Using metals, plastics woods, programming and electronics students will then produce their own prototypes.
The course in Key Stage 3 works on a carousel to ensure students experience a foundation of knowledge across a wide variety of material areas. The course is designed to empower students with a tool kit to problem solve. Students develop their skills using both hand tools and modern technology.
