DESIGN TECHNOLOGY - Full Year
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Greenwood.
Design Technology at Level 1 focuses on core technical skills and designing for a particular client.
Students will learn to design and manage projects for a particular client, addressing their needs and building to a specific set of specifications.
There is flexibility in the second project for students to work on more individualised projects that are restricted primarily by their creative thinking skills and enthusiasm. Due to the individualised nature of projects, course costs will vary between students.
As some of the coursework is online, it is highly recommended that students bring an appropriate device to class.
Future pathways: DST21F
