Aimed at KS4+, this guide will allow pupils to explore the basic tools of OnShape, including creating parts and assemblies with a range of application tasks at the end.

This project was designed to last around four weeks where pupils were given a length of 4x1" softwood, a 150x150x18 piece of plywood and a 150x150x2 piece of MDF to create a storage box with a focus on quality assurance and quality control.

Pupils explore metals and casting in creating an art-deco inspired jewellery piece. Pupils design in a booklet and then use 2D Design to design the mould to be laser cut from 2mm MDF. Pupils then design and manufacture a user-centred organiser. All pupils receive a piece of 18mm plywood which then can use as a base, then design around that. Very open ended and pupils enjoy the freedom in which this project allows. Scheme of work, examples, booklets and powerpoints included.

A passive amplifier product design project designed for Y8. Students are given three identical pieces of softwood that they sandwich together, the centre piece is cut specifically for their mobile phone to slot into, the front and centre are then bored using a Forstner bit for the sound to amplify, then slots cut to join the bores to the mobile phone speakers. Pupils conduct primary research on a selection of pre-made amplifiers, come up with initial ideas, use a Pugh Matrix to select an idea, develop that idea and then manufacture.

Cushion that takes inspiration from a country of choice. Students produce four squares using applique, tie-dye, batik and embroidery to create a commercial cushion that could be sold in a shop to promote that country. Squares are sewn together to create large cushion.

Pupils explore the idea of form and how a product is fit for its purpose.

Pupils are asked to design one of a range of products to help victims of floods in a developing country. Lesson 1 begins with a silent reflection to set the scene, they then work on design ideas and develop them. In Lesson 2 they create a model of their idea and present it to the class. Focus on SMSC and oracy.

A series of six lessons where pupils learn about the theory of flight and use this to make design decisions. Pupils model using set materials and test, then re-design based on their findings. (Iterative Design Task)

These resources are printed, laminated and placed in holders on pupil's desks.
