A resource that I have designed for home learning. School may be closed, but the designing doesn’t stop!

Students are challenged to transform a simple ice lolly stick into a creative and useful product using recycled materials found at home. The challenge encourages creativity, problem-solving, sustainability, and practical making skills.

Students should:
Eat an ice lolly (or use an ice lolly stick they already have)
Design a product using the stick and recycled materials
Build their design
Upload a photo of their finished product to Teams
Include an annotated design sketch and a short evaluation

The poster provides step-by-step instructions, design criteria, inspirational ideas, and details of what needs to be submitted on Teams.

This fun, accessible challenge allows students to develop their Design & Technology skills while working independently at home. We can’t wait to see the creative solutions they come up with!
