Fuel curiosity and invention with the KS2 Design and Technology collection from Hands-On Education. Perfect for children aged 7–11, this range of project packs and printables develops essential DT skills—construction, mechanics, materials, engineering, and problem-solving—through a wealth of exciting, real-world contexts.

Each pack in the KS2 DT shop brings active learning to life. Children design, plan, build, and evaluate through activities like bridge construction, historic model making, vehicle and structure design, STEM challenges, and hands-on explorations of materials and forces. Step-by-step lessons encourage children to draft blueprints, test prototypes, adapt their work, and reflect on both function and creativity.

Resources always blend design and technology with maths, science, English, geography, art, and even music. Projects may involve tracking time, building earthquake-resistant structures, designing healthy recipes, or linking Olympic events to collaborative team challenges. STEM journals and printable booklets help children record investigations, gather data, present findings, and refine their work—the perfect foundation for independent thinking and project-based enquiry.

Teacher and parent notes, clear prompts, and printable templates make activities easy to deliver at home or in the classroom. Whether working in small groups, as a class, or individually, children are guided to ask questions, evaluate, iterate, work safely, and take pride in their ingenuity.

The KS2 DT collection is continually updated with new packs inspired by historical eras, scientific discovery, and global events, ensuring learning stays relevant and engaging. Equip learners with the skills to build, make, troubleshoot, and think like real designers. With Hands-On Education, every child can invent, create, and develop the confidence and flexible thinking needed for the ever-changing world.
