Transcript Welcome to your Introduction to electronics CPD course

This short session is an
overview about change in D&T
using a new curriculum
initiative.
It’s about developing sustainable
D&T Curriculum Development
projects

So that’s where our 5
Lincolnshire schools fit’s into
the picture…..
Part of DATA’s bid to DCSF was about
making curriculum projects sustainable
if staff members leave the school.
Hence teams of 3 staff from different
D&T backgrounds from each school (in
which the technician is a key player).
So 11th Feb was
about cutting edge
technology for our
5 schools.
We made a surface
mounted electronics
product and on 11th
March session embed it
in a 3D printed
prototype.
Staff imagination was the only limit to
what was done on 11th Feb………
The outcomes
Surface mounted electronics !!!!!!!
Back to each school work as a team and
develop a potential project.
Back on 11th March to work with ProEngineer.
Trial the outcome with (maybe) one student.
Take lots of photographs at every stage.
We’ll provide each school with details of a
WIKI to send work to us.
We’ll develop a website of your outcomes.
Lets get our students engaged in exciting D&T
that is relevant to the 21st C
