Night Zookeeper activities in this area cover a range of core standards. Here are some examples of these learning objectives, which are completely customisable by you upon beginning to use the programme:

1. I can design useful, practical and appealing products from design criteria.
2. I can use different tools and materials for different tasks.
3. I can evaluate products against specific design criteria.
4. I can use drawing, templates, mock-ups and talking to develop and explain my ideas.
5. I can use mechanisms (e.g. levers, sliders, wheels) in my products.
6. I can research and develop design criteria for innovative, functional and appealing products.
7. I can choose the best tools and materials when making a product.
8. I consider the viewpoints of others to improve my work.
9. I understand the importance of key events and individuals in the history of design and technology.
10. I can use more complex features in my products, both mechanical (e.g. gears, pulleys) and electrical (e.g. buzzers, switches).
