In this episode of Talking D&T, I interview Milly Kearns, a final year Product Design student at Nottingham Trent University. Milly shares her experiences studying Design and Technology (D&T) in school and how that led her to pursue product design at university. We discuss the differences and similarities between D&T at school versus university, including the focus on collaboration, presentation skills, and the application of theoretical knowledge.
Milly offers insightful advice for D&T teachers, suggesting they continue encouraging students to explore multiple ideas rather than fixating on their first concept. She also recommends moving away from the practice of cramming process documents with unnecessary information and instead focus on the quality and relevance of the content. Additionally, Milly advocates for more collaborative studio-style learning in D&T classrooms to better prepare students for real-world design practices.
We also touch upon Milly's dissertation research on creative education and her final project, which involves designing a system to support people diagnosed with arthritis through clay classes and holistic therapies. As the episode concludes, Milly shares her aspirations to become a D&T teacher and help shape the next generation of designers.
