Design thinking and engineering offer technical and creative ways to meet society’s needs and wants.

At Tonysguboriau the pupils are given opportunities in every topic to design and make products to solve problems. Their design thinking and engineering products are made with Lego, a variety of materials and designed by hand and by using digital devices.

By applying their experiences, skills and knowledge, learners can design and shape innovative engineered solutions. Being part of a user‑centred design process will encourage them to use creativity to develop ideas, manage and mitigate risks, and minimise complexities. When engineering products, services and systems, they will need to understand and control the interactions between materials, structures, components and users. The application of engineering processes allows learners to develop accuracy, precision, dexterity and craftsmanship. By designing and engineering outcomes in response to needs and wants, learners can become enterprising problem solvers.
