Design Technology

At Sandown Primary School our Design and Technology curriculum aims to inspire children through a broad range of practical experiences to create innovative designs which solve real and relevant problems within a variety of different contexts. The design process is fundamental and runs throughout our curriculum. This process encourages children to identify real and relevant problems, critically evaluate existing products and then take risks and innovate when designing and creating solutions to the problems. As part of the process, time is built in to reflect, evaluate and improve on prototypes using design criteria throughout to support this process.

    Today we celebrated the brilliant minds behind some of the greatest inventions in history. We paid tribute to the remarkable contributions made by inventors such as Steve Jobs, Ashok Gadgil, and Alexander Graham Bell.

    Jobs' creations have shaped the way we communicate, work, and live in the digital age. during Inventor Day, we will explored the impact of Jobs' inventions and inspired our young minds to think creatively and embrace the possibilities of technology.

    Ashok Gadgil, an inventor and scientist, has dedicated his career to developing sustainable solutions for global challenges. We delved into Gadgil's inventions, highlighting the importance of sustainable practices and inspiring our young learners to become future innovators in the field of environmental conservation.

    We talked about inventors identifying problems and then coming up with a solution. We loved thinking of solutions to our problems.
