Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr E. Mc Intyre.

Year 10 Product Design Technology

Year 10 Product Design encompasses hands-on, creative learning that encourages students to design and create fit-for-purpose outcomes. This prepares students for Product Design at NCEA Level 1 and leads to pathways at university level in the areas of construction, engineering and industrial design.  It also supports with entry into many trade based qualifications.

This course introduces the principles and concepts of product design. Students will learn how to problem-solve, model ideas, and then take the design from concept to manufacturing the final product.  Projects could include working with metal, wood, plastic and using processes such as vacuum forming and  3D printing.
