Design Technology

Design and technology at JAGS prepares pupils to participate in tomorrow's rapidly changing technologies. Girls learn to think and intervene creatively to improve quality of life. The subject calls for them to become autonomous and creative problem solvers, as individuals and members of a team. Girls must look for needs, wants and opportunities and respond to them by developing a range of ideas and making products and systems. JAGS girls combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices. As they do so, they reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, its uses and effects. Through design and technology, all students can become discriminating and informed users of products, and become innovators.
