Design and Technology

Intent
 
We aim to inspire children through range of practical experiences to create innovative designs, which solve real and relevant problems within a variety of different contexts. We want to encourage children to identify real and relevant problems, critically evaluate existing products and then take risks and innovate when designing and creating solutions to the problems. The children will have time to reflect, evaluate and improve, using design criteria throughout to support this process. Opportunities are provided for children to evaluate key events and individuals who have helped shape the world, showing the real impact of design and technology on the wider environment.
