  • Increasing Children's Repertoires
    This article suggests some strategies to develop design technology skills so that all children can engage in more extensive work on their own or in groups

  • Design Technology: Children's Engineering
    In children's engineering, youngsters address real challenges that open the doors to relevant areas of study. Examples of critical areas include aesthetics, spatial and mathematical relationships, energy transfer, physical structures, materials science and communication. Through design technology, children's engineering, children develop and physically represent their understanding of more abstract notions in concrete and accessible forms.
