Cambridge O Level Design & Technology enables learners to identify, consider and solve problems through creative thinking, planning and design, and by working with different media, materials and tools to produce a made product.
Learners gain technical and design awareness and develop skills such as initiative, resourcefulness, enquiry and ingenuity. They also develop the communication skills central to the design process.
Cambridge O Level Design & Technology is designed to accommodate a range of interests, materials and resources. It provides an ideal basis for further study and equips learners with technical knowledge and practical designing and making skills for the world of work.
Please note: From 2020, this syllabus has been aligned with IGCSE Design & Technology (0445) Resistant Materials option, so support materials for that syllabus option are suitable for use with O Level Design & Technology (6043) from 2020.
