Design Technology

Design and Technology at St Stephens school provides a dynamic and engaging learning experience that prepares students for future challenges. We do this by nurturing their creativity, critical thinking, and practical skills.  Children follow the process of being given a design brief for a real purpose; then evaluate and disassemble existing products in order to formulate ideas. Children then engage in practical focused tasks to develop the skills needed to create their own products. 

D&T is an engaging and hands-on subject that encourages students to apply their creativity and problem-solving skills in a variety of different ways and make links within their understanding. The primary goals of D&T at St Stephens are to develop students' design thinking, technical building, making, joining and cookery skills, and an understanding of the design process to empower children to become innovative thinkers and problem solvers ready for the outside world.
