The Design & Technology Brief writes a complete project: the real-world context and client, a measurable specification, research and ideation tasks, the making skills to teach, testing against the spec, evaluation questions and a hazard table.

Step by step
- Describe the product or project students will design.
- Name your materials focus and how many lessons you have.
- List your workshop reality in the notes — what machines you have, what this year group may not use.
- Press ✨ Generate and read the safety section first.
Tips
- 💡 ⚠ The hazard table is a STARTING POINT for your own school risk assessment, never a replacement for it — that responsibility stays with you.
- 💡 A measurable specification ("holds 6 pens, stands unaided on a sloped desk") is what makes evaluation possible later.
Example
"A desk tidy for a primary classroom", timber and acrylic, 6 lessons → brief, spec, ideation tasks and hazards for each tool.
