| Design & Technology | Secondary 1 and 2 | Our Lower Secondary Design & Technology (D&T) programme is aligned with the MOE Design & Technology Syllabus and aims to develop students’ creativity, problem-solving abilities and technological literacy through authentic, hands-on learning experiences. Through Design Thinking, students learn to identify user needs, generate ideas, develop prototypes and evaluate solutions. They are guided through the design process as they explore how thoughtful design and technology can address real-world problems. Students also develop foundational skills in design communication, sketching, materials processing and the safe use of tools and equipment. They are introduced to technological elements such as Artificial Intelligence, basic electronics and digital design tools, allowing them to understand how technology can be integrated into functional products. Through project-based learning, students apply these skills to design and make prototypes while testing, evaluating and refining their ideas. The programme nurtures innovative thinking, resilience and collaboration, preparing students to further develop their capabilities in Design & Technology at the upper secondary level and to become thoughtful creators in an increasingly technology-driven world. |
