Understand how to follow a circuit map to create a working circuit and enhanced product. Build on the skills acquired in Y7and Y8 for effective colour and pattern creation. Learn how to use Techsoft 2D design to manipulate bitmaps and create original art work. Safe use of the Heat press and Laser cutter. Build on the skills acquired in Y7 and Y8 to introduce using the zipper foot on the sewing machine. Understand how conductive thread works and apply it and suitable components to create a working circuit. Literacy skills: Key words and terminology. Understanding the difference between allowance and tolerance. Knowing and labelling the various components of an e-textiles circuit. Numeracy skills: Block pattern generation including seam allowance and product allowance. Science link: Nano Textiles, current applications and future developments. STEM: Understand how Textiles can be combined with other technologies to produce Enhancement Opportunities Design Museum London/ STEM workshops. E-Textiles Project Design and make a zipped pencil case with electronic circuit. Learn about new developments and collaborations in the Textile Industry, including Nano Textiles. Consider suitable applications in the fields of Sport, Health, information Technology and Fashion. Pupils will make a block pattern including suitable seam allowances and product content allowances. Pupils will plan a correct sequence of activities to enable them to produce a viable product. (Production plan) They will document their making journey, how they overcome difficulties and how each stage may differ in mass production. (Plan for Make) Pupils will make effective use of CAD-CAM with the design and application of original LIT branding. Pupils must understand the need for copyright protection and ensure that it is not breached.
