Worried about what to teach Product Design students? finding it hard to get started and follow the NEA structure at the beginning? This is the perfect resource to get them carrying on and enthused with a high quality power point, with relevant visuals and animations, as well as questions, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section A and really having a much better idea of how to carry on! This is tried, tested and the students had a very positive and studious response. Learning outcomes: In this Section A, NEA coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: • The importance of a good rationale, a contextual challenge and design problems and opportunities, as well as designing with a client in mind • The importance of investigating using primary, secondary and client research, with extra information on client interviews and discussion of anthropometric, ergonomic and site specific research • Inspiration: Time to start doing designs – initial concepts. CAD can also be used. • Consider ongoing research throughout folder that will help an iterative design approach. Potential learning outcomes: Section A of NEA Can be used for 4-5 lessons (including student activity) Plenary activities for those students who might feel a bit overwhelmed and finding it difficult to start, included at end. This is one of my 3 part TES units dealing with the 2021 NEA.

The learning concept: The concept is that the acronym SCAMPER is used by each consecutive student to alter the last students’ design. I normally allow each student ten minutes per alteration. The students really enjoy this activity and it can be stretched to a 1 hour duration Learning Outcomes: In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of: Different design movements Free hand sketching as they can use other’s designs as a springboard for inspiration Gain confidence in annotating each other’s designs This will culminate in them drawing more complex combinations of these designs, which can then be judged by the student or peer assessed to describe the favourite design. Students will also learn subject specific key words that will underpin their design and technology vocabulary. Power point: The attractive and visual power point can be used on the white board and also printed as a worksheet. Printed as two worksheets, there is a blank and also a differentiated version where one idea is already started so that students do not struggle with ‘blank page syndrome’. This has first example models success criteria in the form of detailed annotation and a strong product design influenced by the example swatches on the left side of the page.

Power point: The high end, attractive and informative power point has detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter, main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included.
