The key concept is creativity, and related concepts are function and innovation. Students will choose a technology to investigate, research its health benefits and functions, and creatively produce a video to educate their target audience on the innovation. They are encouraged to determine the intended audience and get feedback from end users such as teachers.

- 3. Colour Codes Key Concept is always in Blue Related Concepts are always in Red
- 4. Creativity Why Creativity for the Key Concept?
- 5. Creativity because... ● Learning about human Creativity that has produced a technological innovation ● Creating health benefits ● Being Creative to produce an informative video.

- 12. What Technology? You choose! Any ideas?
- 13. Who is your target audience? ● Students studying a particular school subject o E.g. PE/Science ● Any other ideas?
- 14. Making a video for use in a subject Whatever subject you choose to do it for will also mean you have an end-user: e.g. PE: Mr Purcell. You can go to an end-user to ask them for advice or any particular requirements. This is research!
