Brompton Bicycle: Key Stage 3 Resources
These activities have been developed to give students an opportunity to experience the kind of thinking that underpins innovation and project development at Brompton Bicycle. Each activity focuses on a different design characteristic and presents students with a brief requiring them to explore current design features and create proposals for new developments. As well as developing design solutions students are encouraged to consider the needs of different user groups and to reflect these differing needs in their design proposals. Although the activities focus on the design process (responding creatively to a brief, applying knowledge of other designs, developing and communicating ideas and critically evaluating proposals), some could be extended to modelling or making, depending on the time and resources available and the particular objectives of the class. The projects can be run as individual standalone exercises or as part of an immersion or enterprise day; teachers might choose to differentiate an activity or vary the student outputs by allocating a specific target audience/market to individual teams.
