Unleashing creative design ideas from your students TY215 / A15
Summary
How do we encourage our students to be creative and take risks?
How do we turn a blank piece of paper into a well-designed product?
This course will equip teachers with ideas and resources to encourage creativity in the D&T classroom. Over two days, we will look at what creativity means within the D&T landscape, the challenges that trying to be a creative designer creates and the common ‘tricky bits’ that students (and teachers) struggle with.
Sessions will focus on:
- how creativity can be encouraged further down the curriculum, with practical ideas and projects that have been tried and tested
- how does industry do it? Hints and tips from industry experts on generating ideas
- ideas for scaffolding the creative process for weaker students
- developing project ideas that encourage creativity and spotting those that discourage it
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course. Course fees vary for participants outside the UK. Please contact enquiries@stem.org.uk for more information.
