The D&T curriculum is split into 5 key areas.

  • DT1 - allowing learners to explore what it means being a designer and the issues that they need to consider.

  • DT2 - learners discover their creativity, problem solving & design skills.

  • DT3 - opportunities for learners to make & experiment with different materials & processes.

  • DT4 - bringing all this knowledge together to design & make in order to solve particular problems.

  • DT5 - celebrate the year with design days, industrial collaborations & competitions to develop and discover YDA design talent.
