Member only Tasks and Activities, Focused Tasks FTs are where students are taught specific technical knowledge, designing skills and making skills. This may be a quick whole-class making activity, learning a new CAD programme, exploring polymers, or much more. CAD and 3D Printing - this Focused Task for students is to research and design their own teether, drawing inspiration from simple, colorful shapes, food, or animal motifs, to help alleviate the pain of teething toddlers. 3D Sketching - this Focused Task will cover creating a simple teething ring in...
Exploring the "Inspired by Industry" Member-only Resources, Inspired By Industry is a set of free design contexts/challenges designed for Key Stage 3 D&T. Each focuses on a different area and is created with a real company or designer who have also tackled this or a similar problem. Each of these contexts contains a wealth of useful material including videos, worksheets, teachers’ notes. D&T Association members will also access a wealth of supporting units; focused tasks (FTs) and investigative and evaluative activities (IEAs). These editable resources are aligned to
Activity One, Activity 1 Take a minute to think about why technology in general (think computers, machines etc) is important. What are the advantages (and disadvantages) of technology. You may want to consider different people / situations to help you with your answer. You may have come up with things such as: Efficiency – doing tasks quicker and easier (think vacuum cleaning, microwaves etc) Doing tasks that are dull, dirty, difficult and dangerous jobs (think landmine clearance, dishwashers etc) Open up opportunities to do new things –...
