Spirituality in Design Technology
In Design and Technology (DT), spirituality can be incorporated by encouraging children to create with intention and meaning. Projects can focus on themes such as gratitude, sustainability, and cultural symbolism, helping students connect their designs to deeper values. Mindful making—such as using natural or recycled materials, can foster appreciation for the world around them. Reflection activities, such as discussing how their creations express personal beliefs or emotions, allow children to see design as more than function, and possibly as a method to communicate their inner thoughts and connections to the world.
