COURSE CONTENT:
In Design and Technology Materials, you will get to design and make three different solutions using materials such as wood, metal and plastics. You will explore how to turn your ideas into real prototypes or polished projects by investigating issues, planning creative solutions, and developing your skills with a range of tools, machines and equipment. As you work through each stage of problem solving, designing, making and evaluating, you will learn how designers create ethical and sustainable products, services and environments that make a positive difference.

You will develop practical skills while learning to use tools and equipment safely and effectively and show your learning through hands-on projects and reflection on your designs and what you’ve made.
