Share supports students to define their idea, visualising it, and tell its story.

This stage involves:  

• Finalising your design idea
• Visualising ideas, for example hand sketching, technical drawing, 3D modelling, photography  
• Creating a clear written narrative on what it is,...

Through these resources, students investigate sewage tunnels that are being built under London and consider how society has changed over time, to identify the influences that have resulted in the needs for a new tunnel. Activities challenge students to use their mathematical skills to calculate critical dimensions...
