This series aims to introduce children to craft, design and technology, covering a specific area in each book. This title describes the stages through which a designer or engineer must work to take an idea from its initial stages through to realization. The book looks at the importance and relevance of design in our lives today and in the past, and how it will affect future generations. The book draws on real examples, both historical and present-day, to reinforce the theory. It poses three simple problems to which the reader must find design solutions.
