CurricuLLM can help with teaching technologies by linking design projects to learning goals, planning digital and hands-on tasks, and showing students how to solve problems.

For teachers

You can use CurricuLLM to:

• Plan lessons and projects:
  • “Make a Year 8 project on sustainable packaging linked to outcomes.”
  • “Give activities to teach coding basics to Year 7.”
• Check assessments:
  • “Does this robotics task match Year 9 digital tech requirements?”
  • “Write a marking guide for a website design project with four levels.”
• Add cross-curriculum links:
  • “Show how sustainability fits in a textiles project.”
  • “Link a food tech unit with science outcomes.”
• Change tasks for different levels:
  • “Adapt this coding task for beginners.”
  • “Give an advanced challenge for students who already know HTML and CSS.”

For students

Students can use CurricuLLM to:

• Practise digital skills:
  • “Explain the difference between hardware and software with examples.”
  • “Show steps to make a simple database.”
• Get project ideas:
  • “Suggest themes for a Year 9 project on community needs.”
  • “Give ideas for a digital solutions project about recycling.”
• Understand tricky concepts:
  • “Explain how algorithms work with a simple example.”
  • “Ask me guiding questions to help fix my coding problem.”
• Reflect on learning:
  • “What questions should I ask myself when checking my prototype?”
  • “Help me write a short reflection on what I learned in food tech.”

Key takeaway

In technologies, CurricuLLM works best when it supports creative problem-solving, helps teachers plan projects linked to the curriculum, and gives students step-by-step help, practice, and reflection questions.
