The document discusses teaching design and technology for contextual challenges at GCSE level. It provides an overview of the three phases of a contextual challenge: phase 1 involves exploring needs and wants, phase 2 focuses on meeting identified needs and wants, and phase 3 is evaluating outcomes. Examples of contextual challenges are provided from various exam boards as well as example student projects addressing challenges such as improving daily life, promoting health and wellbeing, and protecting people. The document aims to help teachers approach contextual challenges in their design and technology teaching.
