Level 1 Hard Materials

Course Description 

Timber will be the main materials investigated in this course. 

Develop an outcome for an authentic context using resistant materials. Will need to transform, manipulate or combine different materials to create an outcome. Throughout this process an investigation of different materials and construction techniques is required to determine a feasible technology outcome.

Projects will stem form 5 major Maori Principals (Theme yet to be decided).

Manaakitanga / Whanaungatanga / Kotahitanga / Kaitiakitanga / Auahatanga
