Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs K. Gray.
Year 10 Product Design Technology
Students will complete practical and personalised projects. They will develop their skills within the area of technology, using a design process to create outcomes and solve problems they come across. It is also important for students to understand that in Product Design, developing an idea that does not work is not a failure, but rather an opportunity for valuable learning. Students will be supported to gain and develop skills using CAD and working with a range of new materials. Studying Product Design can lead to careers and/or further study in design, marketing, electronics, robotics, engineering and many more.
