DT Intent at Springdale First School.

Design and Technology encourages children to learn to think and intervene creatively to solve problems both as individuals and as members of a team. At Springdale, we encourage children to use their creativity and imagination to design and make products that solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts, considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values.

The children will be given opportunities to reflect upon and evaluate past and present design technology, its effectiveness, and the impact it has on our world today. Thus, allowing our children to become innovators and risk-takers.
