You may ask 'Why write a book about Design and Technology for primary students?' Design and Technology plays a big role in our daily lives. From the time we wake up, to the time we go to bed, Design and Technology has been part of our day. Some people also rely on Design and Technology whilst they sleep.

So what is Design and Technology (or D&T)? Design and Technology are the problem-solving processes used to satisfy the needs of people, such as food, shelter, communication and travel. We use D&T to solve problems in our world. For example, using D&T, dams are built to store water for drinking, farming, hydroelectricity and future drought needs.

Let Professor Baz assist you in helping your primary students to understand the building blocks of Design and Technology. Students also learn how to use these building blocks to solve problems in this world with a view to the future. The knowledge of these building blocks enables students to assess the costs as well as the benefits of technology.

Design and Technology in Today's World: A First Look is the D&T world of Professor Baz. Let your students discover the exciting world of D&T.
