This comprehensive third edition takes a skills-building approach to the Cambridge IGCSE(TM) and IGCSE(TM) (9-1) Design and Technology syllabuses (0445/0979) for first examination in 2028. The Student's Book is designed to strengthen students' skills and knowledge and to show how their learning can be applied in a wide range of contexts and careers. We are working toward endorsement of this title for the Cambridge Pathway.

Comprehensive coverage:
This book covers all four sections of the syllabus--Product Design, Materials, Graphic Products, and The Project. Each section engages students through clear explanations and relevant, real-world applications.

User-friendly design:
A clear, accessible layout highlights key concepts and key terms, with structured sections that support effective learning. A comprehensive glossary of key terms reinforces self-study and revision.

Syllabus alignment:
All topics and learning aims are closely mapped to the Cambridge syllabus and reflect the revised focus on sustainable, user-centered, iterative design and emerging technologies.

Real-life relevance:
"Design in Action" case studies provide inspiring examples of Design & Technology in practice, helping students connect their learning to real-world design challenges.

Focused on developing skills:
A hands-on, active-learning methodology helps learners master each stage of the design process.

Review and practice throughout:
Skills Activity tasks build essential capabilities, while Knowledge Check questions at the end of each topic assess understanding and encourage reflection.

Supports success:
Practice questions with sample responses help students understand how to improve and what high-quality work looks like.

Enhanced support for all learners:
Extension activities challenge advanced learners and develop higher-order thinking, while reflective logs encourage students to revisit their learning and identify areas for improvement.

The Collins course includes a Student's Book, Teacher's Guide, and a digital subscription on Collins Hub, offering additional teaching and learning resources such as videos and worksheets.
