DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY

This week will allow your child to develop their skills within this increasingly important area in a world where driverless cars and AI are becoming more than just figments of film and imagination.

The broad learning intentions include developing a perspective on technology such that pupils develop a view of technology and how it might be used, and then enabling technological capability so that pupils experience what it means to ‘do’ technology as opposed to just learning about technology.

This course will prepare students to participate confidently and successfully in an increasingly technological world. Students will gain awareness and learn from wider influences on Design and Technology, and students will get the opportunity to work creatively when designing and making and apply technical and practical expertise.

You will spend the week working on different designs to create a bespoke product over the ten-hour course learning the different stages of the design jour ney each day.
