| Learning Strategies: | ||||
| This hands-on creative course focuses on crafting wooden or composite items such as multi-use furniture and products, using innovative production technology such as laser cutting and composites, as well as traditional woodworking techniques. Students will be involved in initial design development, prototyping, and problem solving, then evaluating their design and production processes. Students will complete practical projects with some accompanying design and explanation of their thinking. | ||||
| Main Areas of Study: | ||||
| This course expands on the essential skills and knowledge students developed in level 2 creative technology or design technology. This course is for students who are interested in product development and innovation. Students will produce two or more practical projects with supporting development and evaluation. The course will cover some computer work and automated production, along with traditional practical skills. While this course is practical and caters to all students, those who wish to pursue a more academic university pathway may also be accommodated. | ||||
