Resistant Materials

In Design Technology lessons, children explore shape, form, pattern and texture in design, and development techniques to make the best use of the qualities of given materials, such as wood, metal, plastic and clay.  Structures are made within certain constraints to solve a given problem and any others that may arise.  The design process is introduced through simple, functional design assignments.  Our children acquire accurate drawing skills and design and assemble simple circuit boards, using components such as transistors and tools such as soldering irons.
