Edexcel GCSE DT NEA 2024

Heyy so I have a slight problem haha. I'm really passionate about DT and I love it so so much (idk about it now after the nea but 😭) anyways I thought all exam boards have the same contextual challenges or themes or whatever but I was wrong sadly 😭.

Over the half term j prepared for aqa themes insted off edexcel. When I say prepaperd I mean PREPARED like I fully have a whole Pinterest board with ideas.

Anywyas the themes we got are so much harder and i have no clue what to do can anyone help please😭

They are:
Charities
Religious Celebrations
STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths)

I'm actually struggling and I need to have my first slide done by Friday and j haven't even picked a context yet 💀

b) How can products be used to promote awareness of a charity?

Theme 2: Religious Celebrations
a) How can products be used to educate people about a religious celebration?
b) How can products be used to commemorate a religious event?

Theme 3: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)
a) How can products be used to encourage participation by students in STEM activities or clubs at school?

Heyy im not sure about the other 2 but for climate change ig you could make a bird house as climate change destroies habitats leaving birds homeless so a bird house provides shelter to them
