Design and technology (D&T) teaches important skills like combining knowledge and practical skills, intellectual and practical activity, and considering human needs and values. It involves real-world tasks. D&T was previously called subjects like craft, design, woodwork, food, needlework, and engineering. There is debate about whether D&T should stay in the national curriculum given changes by the government. Sources argue D&T develops creativity and technological ability.
