“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.”

Steve Jobs

Intent - What are we aiming for?

To enable all children to:

• develop imaginative thinking and to enable them to talk about what they like and dislike when designing and making.
• talk about how things work, and to draw and model their ideas.
• select appropriate tools and techniques for making a product, whilst following safe procedures.
• explore attitudes towards the made world and how we live and work within it.
• develop an understanding of technological processes, products, and their manufacture, and their contribution to our society.
• foster enjoyment, satisfaction and purpose in designing and making.
• develop their knowledge and appreciation of a range of designers while developing an understanding of what a designer is.
