This exciting course allows students to build upon skills learnt at KS4 in either D&T or Engineering GCSE.
It has a common core with D&T: Fashion and textiles and Design Engineering which includes: identifying requirements, learning from existing products and practices, implications of wider issues, design thinking and communication, material considerations and technical understanding, manufacturing processes and techniques, viability of design solutions and health and safety. Students will develop and learn knowledge and skills through small projects, theory lessons, product analysis and they will undertake an NEA (coursework) which will last approximately a year and will involve students researching a problem and designing and making a solution for it.
