Nothing is built for this specification yet
The topic list above is the specification itself, not our summary of it. Work down it and mark every topic you could not explain to someone else: that is your revision plan for Design and Technology.
The past papers for this specification are already here, and they are the most useful thing on the site until the activities land. Try one question, then look up what you could not do.
Edexcel GCSE Design and Technology (1DT0) already has 27 interactive activities. The exam board differs, but the content overlaps heavily, so they are worth using while this one is written.
