Design Technology
Overview
The central skills that link the material areas are creativity and imagination. By combining these skills with knowledge and application of practical designing and making techniques, we aim to give students the opportunity to be resourceful, think critically, take risks when planning and developing and ideas, and to reflect on how their ideas can be improved and develop further to have an impact on modern design.
