MECHANISMS

Studying mechanisms in Design and Technology, is essential for understanding how movement and force are controlled in products and systems. It enables students to explore cams, gears, levers and linkages - building the skills to design solutions that are efficient, functional and purposeful. Mechanisms connect theory with hands-on problem-solving, encouraging learners to think critically about motion, efficiency, and user interaction. This section of the website introduces students to a range of mechanisms, as applied to practical solutions.
