This course is offered as a 200 hour elective.
This course is offered as a 100 hour elective.
This Course provides students with hands on experience with a variety of materials (for example: wood, plastics, graphics, CAD and CAM technologies) to design and build projects.
Using new technologies such as laser cutters and 3D printing, students can blend traditional technologies of with 21st century technologies.
Objectives of the course are:
In this course students will engage in the design and creation of their own quality practical projects. Students will investigate, analyse and apply a range of design concepts and design processes. Through project work and the development of a design portfolio, students will develop time management skills by sequencing, producing and evaluating design solutions as part of the design process.
Students are required to wear the correct Personal protective Equipment (PPE) each practical lesson including fully enclosed leather shoes.
