Design and Technology Week included celebrating World Home Economics Day while also getting students involved in a range of activities each day in subject areas such as Food Technology, Fabric Technology, Metalwork and Child Studies.
The area of Design and Technology allows students to express creativity, be hands on learners and explore the design process, which leads to an outcome based approach to learning.
Students enjoyed exploring and participating in Design and Technology Week, with many younger students getting a taste of subjects they can pursue throughout their educational journey at Kildare
Old scholar Aimee Pope, visited as a guest Baker Apprentice to show students cupcake piping and decorating techniques; this was greatly enjoyed by all.
