ABSTRACT
Applying your expertise to teach pupils to design and make is an enjoyable and rewarding task. It is also a daunting one, especially if you have not sufficiently planned and prepared the lesson! The latter is important; you must design and make your own examples of the projects you set for pupils as this will give you insight into the difficulties that pupils may face and provide ideas about opportunities to extend projects. It will also give you confidence and raise your ‘street-cred’ because it shows pupils that you actually know what you are doing.
