Inspired by Industry Pentagram

Inspired by Industry Pentagram, Inspired by Industry: PentagramThis context invites students to explore how success can be recognised through the design of awards and trophies, inspired by Pentagram’s work on the UEFA Europa Conference League Trophy. Pupils follow a full design–make–evaluate process, from empathising with users to developing and prototyping ideas in CAD or with physical models. They can investigate form, symbolism, ergonomics, and materials, as well as rapid prototyping processes such as 3D printing or casting. Creative freedom is encouraged alongside technical skills in visual communication, modelling, and user-centred design, with opportunities to test concepts...

Designing with textiles

Designing with textiles, Age 7-11 yearsFirst published 2011 Designing with textiles.This resource is aimed at older primary children who have had some previous experience of working with fabrics. It will help them generate and develop practical, functional ideas and make models and mock ups to test their design thinking. It will also help them to make patterns, templates and/or nets (using a computer if appropriate), improve their making skills (cutting and joining fabrics) and then evaluate their product in use. What the children make can either be focused on a particular product...
