It helps pupils to \u2018close the design loop\u2019 by manufacturing their design ideas. It allows pupils to develop practical skills that are invaluable in the design\/make\/test process. It helps them gain an appreciation of the properties and uses of materials as well as a range of manufacturing processes and techniques. It allows them to evaluate, refine and resolve design and manufacturing solutions.
