                                                                          Welcome to DezineTech. My name is Rob Anderson and I teach Design Technology @ BISS secondary school here in Beijing. DT is a great subject and students love being here. It is a very popular part of our IBO MYP and DP Programs. Here at this site you can find all the different projects and the Design outlines, assessments and other helpful stuff to help you get the most out of our subject. Look through this website at what DT can offer you ....... We are a 1:1 Mac laptop school and the integration and evolution of our digital portfolios is transforming the way students are learning DT. It is still a "Work in Progress" so apologies for any incomplete sections...... 

                                                                          Year 6 DT Card It!

Also have a look at the Biomimcry Inspired Websites to help with your knowledge and understanding of this rapidly expanding niche of the design world.

They also undertake project based Internal Assessment tasks, both practical and theoretical assignments and a final year Major Project. Here is one of our Year 12 student's work where she was involved in researching and re-designing the Tea Ceremony Tray.
