Mechanisms are a key component of primary Design and Technology, enabling pupils to develop their understanding of movement, control and mechanical systems through purposeful design and making activities.

This practical, hands-on workshop is designed to build teachers' confidence and subject knowledge when teaching mechanisms across the primary phase.

Through a range of engaging activities, participants will explore how to teach and apply mechanisms such as sliders, levers, linkages, wheels and axles within meaningful D&T contexts. The course will focus on curriculum progression, practical classroom application and effective pedagogical approaches that support creativity, problem-solving and technical understanding.
