This unit is based on the Design process, where students complete their research and design through class assignments, while construction and evaluation are addressed via the completion of a range of products incorporating a variety of construction skills over the semester.

What will I learn?

Students are introduced to the safe use of a range of power tools while hand tool skills are further developed through a greater emphasis on accuracy and the production of a quality finish. 

What will I do?

Students will design, construct and evaluate a range of products crafted in wood.

What will this lead to?

Further development of proficiency and knowledge at this level will benefit Year 10 studies in this field as well as help students prepare for entry into VCE Design and Technology studies and vocational training. This elective also provides students with expertise for an interesting recreational pursuit and is a skill for life.
