The curriculum is designed to enable progression in Design and Technology processes, including specific aspects of designing and evaluating. It also ensures that children develop their knowledge and skills systematically; choosing and using an increasing range of tools and techniques to suit a range of different purposes and developing their knowledge and understanding of mechanisms and structures to enable the incorporation of mechanical and electronic systems into their products.
