Inspired by Industry Salsus Design, Inspired by Industry: Salsus DesignThe context supports mid to late Key Stage 3, covering technical knowledge such as CAD, CAM, rapid prototyping, modelling, electronics, manufacturing processes, and links to maths and science. It includes focused tasks, investigative activities and opportunities to learn how products move from prototype to commercial manufacture.Students explore user-centred design, ergonomics, anthropometrics and inclusive design principles while developing concepts for accessible digital music controllers or interfaces. Outcomes may be conceptual or functional, using both physical modelling (foam, card, polymorph, 3D printing) and CAD.This context invites pupils to design products that make...
Let's Look at Products, Let’s Look at Products EYFSAges 3-5 years This resource focuses on children investigating and evaluating products. It includes three PowerPoint presentations with examples of cups, slippers and cutlery, but practitioners should use these as starting points and adapt the resource to include products that would engage their children. There are many ways in which the activities could be implemented: they could be used to develop communication and language skills and PSE development; perhaps linked to a topic such as Ourselves, Myself or Things we Use; or they could be linked to a story...
Putting the Communications in Electronics and Communications Technology, Age 11-14 yearsFirst published 2012 This project offers a basic introduction to wireless communications technology, using infra-red as a starting point. Infra-red is relatively simple, components are cheap and it enables students to understand some of the basic principles of how wireless control works. Communications Technology is now a huge industry worldwide and a vast range and variety of electronic products are now developed with a view to enabling better, faster and wider communications between people across the world. The exponential development curve shown by the mobile phone in the last...
STEM Careers resources Light Up the World, Age 11-14 years This unit is based around the issue of providing light for people in developing countries who do not have access to mains electricity as an example of a possible career path that D&T might lead to. Light up the World, a humanitarian organisation based at the University of Calgary, is used throughout the project as an example of this type of work in action in the real world. Pupils are given a design brief and are required to investigate the context and key people, to design and manufacture a...
Heat transfer project, First published 2013 The Heat Transfer Project contains two activities for with cross-curricular links to Science asking Year 9 students to investigate materials that are most suitable for fast food packaging, and learn more about how a vacuum flask works. The project consists of two main activities: Hot Potatoes! A Science based activity where students make predictions, carry out an experiment, analyse results and make conclusions about which materials are most suitable for fast food packaging and apply this information to a design task. How do we keep hot things hot?...
