Inspired by Industry Yoto, Inspired by Industry: Yoto This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the design and creation of toys to help children learn. While the company specialise in screen free audio players, the context is adaptable to other types or learning toy. This context provides opportunities to explore woods and polymers as well as prototyping materials such as card and expanded foam. This context could also encourage the exploration of simple electronics and/or mechanical systems. This may be through the use of Micro:bit...
Inspired by Industry PTC Onshape, Inspired by Industry: PTC Onshape This context has been created to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore user centred design and innovation through the development of a robot that can improve the quality of life. The prototype outcome(s) will need to be realised in a form that can be tested and evaluated. This might simple be a mock-up with exposed parts, wires etc. to test functionality, or it could be that the prototype resembles a more commercial ‘finished’ outcome. Alternatively, CAD might be used to create parts...
Inspired by Industry JCB, Inspired by Industry: JCB This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the causes and effects of pollution in the environment and to design solutions to combat pollution. The context is adaptable to a wide range of applications such as waste collection, management and disposal. Some outcomes are likely to be conceptual and may not be fully working. For example, a waste compactor may focus on the mechanical operation and a simple test rig may be appropriate to test
Making frames for motorised projects, Making frames for motorised projectsAge 9-11 years First published 2014 This Year 5 or 6 PowerPoint presentation, from material kindly provided by Hampshire County Council, includes a step-by-step guide through making a framework to house a motor that can be adapted for a range of uses. Once children have been successfully led through the design and manufacture of the unit they are then well placed to incorporate it into any moving machine, including fairground rides or moving vehicles. Successful electrical and computer control activities can be combined with the creative adaptation...
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...
Focus Fairground Single Licence, An exciting interactive program designed to aid the teaching of projects based on the ‘Fairgrounds’ scheme of work. Structured to encourage students of all abilities to conduct research into the design of ride layouts, mechanisms and electric circuits, this simple-to-use learning aid combines six topic areas with 18 fully controllable animations of fairground rides. Focus on Fairground Rides delivers a comprehensive educational package that’s equally useful as a teaching aid, learning resource or research tool. Topic areas covered include: Pulley systems Switching circuits Types of motion Technical vocabulary Gear systems...
Member only Tasks and Activities, Focused Tasks - Coming Soon 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. Investigative Evaluative Activities - Coming Soon IEAs are where students learn from a range of existing products and find out about D&T in the wider world. This may be aspects such as product disassembly, reflection and prediction and discussions and explorations regarding sustainability. Curriculum units ...
