Summary - Out now
Test pupils’ problem-solving skills through the use of CAD skills and 3D printing. Create suitable junction components to connect wooden dowels to form a bridge or children’s swing set.
This unit examines the impact and technical processes of 3D printing in society and in the classroom before building CAD skills to design 3D components. A practical problem-solving approach to creating connecting parts for a structure is encouraged using techniques demonstrated throughout the unit. Finally, pupils are encouraged to critically review and analyse their successes or failures to inform future design decisions.
What's included in the toolkit?
The currently available units have been written to satisfy the new National Curriculum for Design and Technology. They are designed for teaching at KS3 but individual lessons in some units may also be appropriate for teaching Key Stages 2 or 4, particularly where Year 10 students may not previously have been exposed to certain topics.
