Inspired by Industry PTC Onshape, Inspired by Industry: PTC Onshape This context has been created to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore user centred design and innovation through the development of a robot that can improve the quality of life. The prototype outcome(s) will need to be realised in a form that can be tested and evaluated. This might simple be a mock-up with exposed parts, wires etc. to test functionality, or it could be that the prototype resembles a more commercial ‘finished’ outcome. Alternatively, CAD might be used to create parts and assemblies that...

Embedding a digital portfolio approach to support remote and school based learning, Session Content: In setting up D&T as a new subject at Tanglin Trust School, Singapore, James took the opportunity to review how best to deliver and record subject content to Y9 and above. The software and techniques allowed for a smooth transition into remote learning whether pupils had access to a device or not. The digital approach has not only improved planning, delivery and responses but has also enhanced other aspects of the curriculum, management and leadership of the subject. Learning Outcomes:...
