DT: Product Design aims to foster intellectual curiosity about the design and manufacture of products, as well as improving practical skills such as sketching, making and CAD CAM. Through a combination of short, focused practical tasks and extended design projects, you will develop your ability as a designer to create and prototype innovative solutions to the needs and wants of a client in response to real world problems. You will also establish a comprehensive understanding of the materials, processes and professional practices that shape the way that modern designers operate. The Design and Technology building provides a calm and focused working environment, and all Year 12 students are trusted to use independently the various technologies available, such as the laser cutters, 3D printers and workshop equipment.
