Design Technology

How do we Teach D.T. in STEM?

STEM is taught as a practical, enquiry-based subject, with close links between Science and Design and Technology (D.T.) evident. 

In Design Technology, pupils are able to design, make and evaluate a range of products using various materials and techniques. 

The teaching of STEM aims to ensure that all pupils: 

• develop the creative, technical and practical expertise needed to perform everyday tasks confidently and to participate successfully in an increasingly technological world

• build and apply a repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills in order to design and make high-quality prototypes and products for a wide range of users

• critique, evaluate and test their ideas and products and the work of others

• understand and apply the principles of nutrition and learn how to cook.
