Transcript of Design & Technology GCSE Graphic products · Designing products of the future Problem solving . 60%...
Design and technology is about inventing practical solutions
to problems through imaginative thinking. Learners use a
range of tools, materials, skills and techniques to explore,
design and make products and systems that meet human
needs. Working in stimulating contexts they engage in a
continuous course of personal development, learning to use
today's technologies so they can participate in developing
tomorrow's. (Qualifications and Curriculum Authority)
Making models
“Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products”.

“The D&T course has helped me immensely in developing skills -such as model making, design development and resolution - that guided my architectural studies at the Manchester School of Architecture”.
Christia Angelidou
“Definitely the most interesting module I attended at the English School. It has helped me understand and develop the necessary skills to cope with fast approaching deadlines and big assignments”.
Vassos Georgiou
“The Design and Technology course created a solid design foundation for my education. From it I've learnt about the essence and importance of a design process which leads to a final proposal, a process of exciting experimentation, testing and research.”
Lily Papadopoulos
“Design & Technology gave me a great insight into 3D Design and Development”.
Daniella Georgiou dD by Daniella Georgiou Handbags & Accessories
“Design and Technology was without a doubt the most useful (and enjoyable) A-level subject I took. I have already taken a product design class during my first semester in college and as of this semester I am a UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program) student in MIT's Self Assembly lab working on a new technology coined '4D printing'. Had it not been for DT introducing me to processes like stereo-lithography and rapid prototyping, I doubt any of these would've been possible”.
George Varnavides
“I think D&T has definitely made me feel like I have an advantage on several occasions while studying. It's a good foundation for any design course”.
Sophia Papagregoriou
"Design and Technology helped me find the other side of myself...the creative, the enquiring and the perfectionist."
Christina Tryfonos
