"Nuffield Design & Technology 11-14" emphasises the development of design skills as a mean of improving student performance and reflects the practice recommended by Ofsted and the revised National Curriculum.
This project, designed for 14-16 year olds, builds upon the previous age group's project, but its resources focus on each of the subject areas and provide students with a more in-depth study of these. This element shows pupils how to design and make graphic products for packaging, signs and signage, interior design, card engineering, games and puzzles, information and user interfaces. Each teachers' guide incorporates all the capability tasks for the focus area. Capability tasks give students the opportunity to use the skills and understanding gained through the resource tasks to complete longer, open-ended activities which require designing, making and evaluation skills.
