Years 3 & 4
Curriculum: Design and Technology
Students use design thinking to empathise with an audience and define their needs. This will then help to inform the upcycled timber design they will then work to create. Students will use the needs of the identified user to ideate and prototype a design. Students describe how people design products, services and environments to meet the needs of people, including sustainability.
