Year 10 Product Design
Earlier this semester year 10 Product Design & Technology students responded to the brief ‘Small Tables’.
Presented with a design problem, students undertook a range of design thinking and problem-solving strategies to generate a unique solution. A thorough design process inclusive of drawing, model making, material testing and evaluation resulted in a final design ready for production. Students were introduced to several new joinery techniques, production methods and finishing techniques, building great confidence within the workshop to complete accurate, high quality final products.
