Ideal for Middle and High School schools, students learn about Dyson technology, identifying design clues and understand the engineering thinking behind how - and why - it works. It can be adapted for any classroom and the lessons are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards.
TEACHER'S PACK
FULLY-SUPPORTED LESSON PLANS
The teacher's pack contains eight lesson plans, worksheets and supporting information for the teacher, explaining how the lessons relate to design engineering to Dyson.
Once they learn about Dyson technology, students will understand the design process inside out. From here, they'll be able to develop their own solutions to everyday problems. They will also learn about the diversity of engineering jobs, hearing from real engineers.
VIDEOS
Meet the Engineers
The videos include interviews with a range of Dyson engineers who work in different areas of engineering. Students will learn about the breadth of engineering disciplines, find out more about the engineer's role, how they got into engineering, and what they do day-to-day. Also included are video guides to help understand the engineering inside Dyson vacuum cleaner accessories.
