Everything Around You Was Designed

A 7-slide tour that helps children realise EVERY man-made object around them was designed by someone, often with the same design-make-evaluate process they’re learning. Each slide pairs a familiar object with the key D&T idea behind it: chairs (structures), kitchen scissors (mechanisms), backpacks (textiles), and a peanut-butter sandwich (cooking/nutrition). Best read with a grown-up. Slide 7 is a “spot the designer” walk-around-the-house challenge.
