Design Technology (DT)

In The Weald Federation, we provide opportunities for our children to be creative and innovative problem solvers. Design and Technology (DT) is an inspiring and practical subject with natural links to maths, science, computing and some aspects of art. That said, starting points and ideas for projects can be found across the whole curriculum. Children are presented with practical (and imaginary) design briefs linked to topics and are taught how to think critically, find solutions and create products to fit a given set of design criteria. Children will research existing products and solutions and use these to develop their own ideas, and be taught the practical and theoretical skills needed to build, make and create. Self-evaluation and the evaluation of others is a key requirement of success. This subject provides the perfect opportunity to think outside the box and learn from our mistakes. Click to download
