Matthew Amesbury

BSc (Hons) Product Design

Over the past three years at CSAD Product Design I have developed an endless number of skills as a designer. It highlighted the importance of design within the world and the way in which it can change lives for the better. Over the course of my time here, I have come to realise that my skills can be best used to teach. Design and Technology can often be overlooked, however, as a subject that plays a vital role in the development of students’ core STEM skills I feel it would allow me to have the maximum impact when forming the futures of pupils who are aiming for key roles within technology industries. As a member of the Institution of Design Engineers, I have extensive experience in all aspects of product design. The ability to help pupils form the skills needed to kickstart careers in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, computing and more is what will drive me to teach to the best of my ability. Upon completion of this degree, I will begin studying for a PGCE. An exciting yet challenging year awaits.


Dros y tair blynedd diwethaf yn dilyn cwrs Dylunio Cynnyrch yn Ysgol Celf a Dylunio Caerdydd rydw i wedi datblygu sgiliau di-ri fel dylunydd. Fe wnaeth y cwrs dynnu sylw at bwysigrwydd dylunio yn y byd a’r ffordd y gall newid bywydau er gwell. Yn ystod fy amser yma, rydw i wedi dod i sylweddoli mai’r ffordd orau o ddefnyddio fy sgiliau yw drwy addysgu. Mae Dylunio a Thechnoleg yn cael ei anwybyddu’n aml, fodd bynnag, fel pwnc sy’n gwneud cyfraniad hanfodol at ddatblygu sgiliau STEM craidd myfyrwyr, rwy’n teimlo y byddai’n rhoi cyfle i mi gael yr effaith fwyaf gan lywio dyfodol disgyblion sy’n gobeithio cael rolau allweddol yn y diwydiannau technoleg. Fel aelod o Sefydliad y Peirianwyr Dylunio, mae gen i brofiad helaeth ym mhob agwedd ar ddylunio cynnyrch. Y gallu i helpu disgyblion i ffurfio’r sgiliau sydd eu hangen i roi hwb i yrfaoedd mewn meysydd fel peirianneg, gweithgynhyrchu, cyfrifiadura a mwy yw’r hyn a fydd yn fy nghymell i addysgu hyd eithaf fy ngallu. Ar ôl cwblhau’r radd hon, byddaf yn dechrau astudio ar gyfer TAR. Mae blwyddyn gyffrous ond heriol o’m blaen.
