Teachers and leaders will be highly motivated and ambitious for both the subject and their pupils' achievement. In primary schools, the Subject Leader will have ensured that design and technology...
Aeronautical Engineering, These resources have been developed with the support of the ERA Foundation, to help students understand roles and career paths into design and manufacturing, with aeronautical engineering as the main context. They include eight video case studies of engineers with different roles, a teacher guide and a series of PowerPoint based challenges for Key Stage 3 students. In these the eight engineers are presented as drawn characters, offering challenges to: Understand the principles of flight by making a glider that flies the furthest Powered flight: adding power to make it...
Design with a Cause: ‘Inspired by Industry’ RAF – Empowering students to design for real-world challenges, Explore temporary shelter design Teachers looking to bring real-world design contexts into the classroom can rediscover the ‘Inspired by Industry’ RAF context, a versatile resource that allows students to explore temporary shelter design for a wide range of situations, from humanitarian aid and pop-up market stalls to pet carriers. The context encourages students to experiment with materials, testing properties such as insulation, waterproofing, and durability. It also introduces collapsible structures and mechanical systems, giving students the chance...

It explains in general terms how the two subjects are related and then focuses on the application of computing in design and technology to program and control physical systems in KS2 and KS3. The guidance sets out: ...
Students Rise to the Challenge at UK Manufacturing Skills Event, The Design & Technology Association was delighted to attend this year’s ‘Design & Make Challenge’, held on Tuesday 8 July at the University of Warwick and hosted by WMG. Our curriculum consultant Lol Conway popped down to the event to meet with industry leaders, teachers and nearly 100 students for a day focused on tackling engineering challenges and building enthusiasm for careers in UK manufacturing. Organised by the Manufacturing Assembly Network (MAN Group), the event brought together 15 schools for an energetic, hands-on competition. Students...
Designing Resource Pack, Designing Resource Pack11-14 yearsThese substantial resources from DMC Cornwall Learning were developed in 2008, but remain particularly relevant to product design today. They are in pdf format and consist of a substantial and well-illustrated look at all major aspects of design.The resource divided into 5 sections over 82 large scale pages:• Section 1 - Design overview - An outline of the breadth and history of design.• Section 2 - Case Studies - A collection of designer case studies of designer case studies looking closely at their approach...
Transforming prototyping with the ChompSaw, At the Costello School, part of the Bohunt Education Trust, design and technology lessons are all about creativity, practical skills, and building confidence through making. For teachers, supporting students to prototype quickly and accurately is particularly crucial at KS4, where limited lesson time makes precision essential. The introduction of the ChompSaw has already made a noticeable difference in both the speed and quality of student work. A game-changing tool for the classroom Claire Young, Curriculum Team Leader (Technology), was immediately drawn to the ChompSaw when she first...
Degree apprenticeships E.ON - Lenga Dermaut, Why degree apprenticeships matter for your classroom A current electromechanical engineering degree apprentice, Lenga, is offering a powerful real-world perspective that design and technology teachers can bring directly into their classrooms. Working with E.ON while studying at the University of Nottingham, Lenga’s journey highlights a pathway that blends academic study with hands-on industry experience, an increasingly relevant option for students exploring their futures. Choosing a degree apprenticeship was driven by both practicality and passion. Avoiding significant student debt was one factor, but more importantly, it offered the opportunity...
Torches, Lamps and Lanterns, Age 7-9 yearsFirst published 2013 This Year 3 or 4 unit, from material kindly provided by Hampshire County Council, has children design and make a purposeful product using an electric circuit. The extensive PowerPoint presentation includes examples of torches with different users and uses, the components of electrical circuits and how they come together, and construction methods for making the different parts of a torch. It also contains tips and ideas for teachers and Health and Safety advice and has a section on using techniques
Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies, Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies Year 5-6Age 9-11 First published 2011 This project is adapted from unit 5D and focuses on developing children’s skills, knowledge and understanding of food, building on previous learning in which children prepared food products using simple processes. Children learn how to adapt a basic recipe to develop a product with specified criteria. Investigation of existing products, including fair trade, will inform design ideas. There are opportunities to apply maths by measuring accurately, converting measures and applying ratio and proportion to recipes. The...
