Evolved through consultation with practitioners, this specification offers a fresh approach to dynamic environment of design and technology. It seeks to:
- develop students' knowledge and understanding of, and skills and application in, product design
- develop students' ability to design and make products that are fit for purpose, satisfy wants or needs, and enhance our day-to-day lives
- give students the opportunity to demonstrate their design and technology capability
- develop skills in planning, research, analysis, product development, project planning and evaluation.
Good design is vital to our world and economy. It is important, therefore, that we enthuse the designers of tomorrow and impart a passion for designing their future.
