Design and Technology (Product Design)

Course summary

Everything we use in our daily lives has been designed. Without creative individuals pushing the boundaries of technology and seeing and solving problems, we would not live in the world as we know it today. A Level Product Design is the starting point to making you one of those individuals who makes our life easier or better in some way. This course builds on the knowledge you have gained from GSCE Product Design. It allows you to have a greater understanding of the processes and materials you will need, as well as developing your thinking and practical skills. You will have a mixture of practical and theory-based lessons, enabling you to complete one portfolio in Year 12 and one project, of your choosing in Year 13, your final chance to showcase the skills you have learned.
