Thinking outside the box - Using D&T to solve real-world problems, At St Mary’s College in Crosby, design & technology is about more than making products. Led by Ben Swan, Head of D&T, students develop practical problem-solving skills and innovative thinking to tackle real-world challenges. A striking example was Upper Sixth student Emily Jones, whose bus shelter design for Mersey Travel was recognised with a Design & Technology Association Excellence Award in 2024. Emily’s project went beyond functionality, focusing on community engagement and sustainability. Design with...
Sustainability Series - Investigating types of pollution with JCB, The ‘Inspired by Industry’ JCB context is supported by a dedicated Investigative Evaluative Activity (IEA) unit available for members, all about the different types of pollution. This classroom resource helps students explore the causes, types and effects of pollution, while encouraging them to design practical solutions to tackle these issues. The unit covers how harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), released during manufacturing processes, contribute to global warming. Students are guided to think critically about how...
Inspired by Industry Lamb Industries, Inspired by Industry: Lamb Industries This context is designed to provide students with opportunities to explore accessible product design, focusing on gardening but adaptable to various applications. While no specific material focus, the emphasis on durable materials like metals, timbers, and polymers is noted for functional gardening equipment. However, students are encouraged to use modelling materials for prototyping and soft modelling tools for experimenting with organic forms related to comfort and ergonomics. The potential outcomes may be conceptual, such as modelled garden implements or storage...
Inspired by Industry Lisi Aerospace, Inspired by Industry: Lisi Aerospace This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore how they can reduce the weight of an object whilst maintaining its strength. Whilst the company (Lisi) focuses on the creation of fixings for the aerospace industry, the same intent could be adapted for a range of applications where a lightweight but strong solution is required. The outcomes are prototypes but will require testing in terms of their function and performance...
