Service-learning in Design and Technology: Creating impact through real-world projects

The integration of Service-Learning into the Key Stage 3 Design and Technology curriculum aimed to deepen students' understanding of real-world challenges through project-based learning. By engaging with the needs of a Burmese migrant/refugee community in Thailand, students developed empathy, problem-solving skills, and a sense of social responsibility. Their term project focused on recognizing key challenges, proposing design solutions and fund raising, which was further expanded through an extracurricular activity where IB Diploma students refined these ideas for a migrant children's school. The initiative culminated in a trip to Mae Sot, where 17 students across different age groups collaborated with NGOs and architects on-site to engage in building parts of the school. This experience fostered peer mentorship, hands-on learning, and personal reflection on the impact of design and community engagement.
