Design and Technology AQA
Introduction Design and Technology is woven into the fabric of everyday life and is constantly evolving. Pupils will develop practical skills and learn about the commercial processes and careers in related fields, as well as developing core transferable skills, such as collaboration and problem solving. GCSE Design and Technology will prepare pupils to participate confidently and successfully in an increasingly technological world. Pupils will gain awareness and learn from wider influences on Design and Technology including historical, social, cultural, environmental and economic factors. Pupils will get the opportunity to work creatively when designing and making, as well as to apply technical and practical expertise. Design and Technology will suit pupils who enjoy being creative and have imaginative ways of solving problems. A pupil who has a talent for visualising 3D concepts and is able to transfer those to practical work and apply technical information would be able to do well on this course. After taking the GCSE they could go on to take an A Level in Product Design (3D Design). With further study at university this could lead to possible careers such as: Product Designer, Furniture Designer, Jewellery Designer, Automotive Designer, Architect, Engineer Manufacturing, and many more.
