Key Practitioners introductions, The Key Practitioners PoaP focuses on a selection of recommended key individuals from across the design and technology specialisms. This is focused for KS2 but can be delivered at any time across those year groups. The planner gives you ideas for how you can incorporate key individuals into your planning and units of work as well as giving you an overview of each of the recommended individuals so as to help you select the most relevant practitioner for your planning and also to introduce them to your pupils. Accompanying the PoaP resource is a recommended project that...
Inspired by Industry RAF, Inspired by Industry: RAF This context allows students to explore temporary shelter design for various situations, from humanitarian aid to pop-up market stalls and pet carriers. The project encourages material exploration, testing for properties like insulation and waterproofing, and considering collapsible structures and mechanical systems. Students can create physical or CAD prototypes, with testing methods ranging from virtual FEA analysis to hands-on team challenges like building and water-testing shelters. The project supports individual and group work, fostering problem-solving and engineering skills while allowing creative freedom in designing functional, adaptable shelters. Log in...
