Through design technology the children can learn to take risks, becoming inspiring, imaginative, innovative, enterprising and accomplished people. Through the honest evaluation of past and present design and technology, they can develop a critical understanding of its impact on daily life and the wider world (DFE, 2014). We aim to teach the children to be supportive and nurturing towards each other by giving them opportunities to work together on projects or by honestly evaluating their peers’ creations, thinking of ways they could be improved. The children will develop their understanding of the needs of others in order to design inclusive products and also develop their knowledge of the sustainability of products and where they come from, reinforcing their care for the environment.
