Designing for CAD/CAM 2
In this Teachers TV video, design and technology trouble-shooter Steve Stott has devised some innovative ideas to help students design for CAD/CAM. Steve is trying out a new scheme of work at John Kelly Technology College in Brent, where over a third of students speak English as a second language. Students here can be challenging and, as a result, the school has adopted quite a formulaic curriculum, with design and technology classes working to the same designs.
The film follows a group of Year Nine students who, after some initial uncertainty, warm to Steve's ideas. The school's head of department, Alan Patterson, is greatly impressed by the experience and teachers agree that there should always be time for traditional and original designing techniques.
