Design & Technology

In this Unit, learners will develop skills in producing drawings, sketches and diagrams to support the design process. Learners will use computer-aided and/or manual graphic communication tools and techniques.

In this Unit, learners will follow, with guidance, a simple design process. They will make a simple physical model from design drawings, and refine the design based on simple evaluation of the model. Through these activities, learners will develop awareness of sustainability and recycling.

In this Unit, learners will develop an understanding of structures and mechanisms by solving simple engineering problems. They will construct (or simulate) and test simple models to demonstrate one or more of strengthening, energy transfer or movement. Learners will draw conclusions based on the test results.
