Design Technology

Intent:

The Rodillian Design & Technology curriculum aims to support all learners to work on a variety of design projects, in an stimulating environment, using workshop based tools and equipment.  

Students work with a range of materials, giving them an understanding of their individual properties and characteristics and how they can be used in the design and manufacture of products.

Using specialised tools, processes and techniques, our students are enabled to combine technological knowledge and the application of practical skills, with creativity, to design products for human needs.

Our students work towards engaging in the iterative design process of designing, making and evaluating. Leading to the manufacture of products that consider function and purpose, whilst developing analytical thinking, problem solving, and presentation skills.

Students will learn about current technologies whilst also thinking about the impact that future developments will have on our lifestyle and the environment. Empowering them to learn how to make a positive impact.

We aim to develop students with the confidence  to question and argue rationally, and the resilience to apply themselves to tasks, both on their own and in groups. To evolve the lively, enquiring minds of individuals who aspire for future success
