Design Technology at Bealings is a wholly creative process, where skills and techniques are refined whilst planning, developing and evaluating our products. Our fictional contexts allow teachers to introduce problems in which design technology skills and knowledge are required to solve them.
How can we rescue a group of miners trapped in an Egyptian mineshaft? How can we stabilise our rollercoasters to make them safer? How can we build an electronic car to use in our film? How can we lift the beached whale back into the sea?
Our children always have a specific client and clear requirements to fulfil when planning their products. This is the context within which they are working, their whole reason for doing – without this, there is no need. Children work collaboratively to build, evaluate and improve on their designs, learning from and supporting each other to improve for the satisfaction of the client and for the reputation of the company.
