Design & Technology

 

The importance of Design & Technology

 

Here at St.Dunstan's College Junior School the design and technology curriculum prepares pupils to participate in tomorrow’s rapidly changing technologies. They learn to think and intervene creatively to improve quality of life. This subject calls for pupils to be autonomous and creative problem solvers, as individuals and as part of a team.

______________________________________

They must look for needs, wants and opportunities and respond to them by developing a range of ideas and making products and systems. They combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices. As they do so, they reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, all pupils can become discriminating and informed users of products, and become innovators.
