Year 5 Designers Present their Learning

5 February 2025 (by raustin)

Children in Year Five visited Year Four to showcase their DT learning. They began by explaining they had been given the design brief to design and make an exciting cam-mechanism toy for children aged 3-5 to play with. The designers explained that cam mechanisms are made up of three components: a cam, slider and follower. The designers also shared that they had a go at disassembling a product to help them understand how it works. After considering market research, the children explained how they designed and then produced their product, with the think- make- break- repeat process running throughout. Year Four were so impressed with the final cam-mechanism toys and are excited about making their very own in the future!
