Design, modify, follow and represent both diagrammatically, and in written text, alternative solutions using a range of techniques, appropriate technical terms and technology
It is always important for students to understand why they are learning something. To introduce them to the why we learn about design and technology we can talk about an Engineering career. The following video will also assist students in understanding how the design process works and prepare them for the inevitable mistakes that can occur.
This video can be at the start of a unit as an engaging hook for students. From here students can learn about sustainability and propose solutions to problems that face today’s society in relation to food production.
Hi Stacey.
I think that this is great activity for the students as it promotes the idea that failure is not always a bad thing.
I think it fits into the curriculum really well and is also relevant to the students and their future lives.
