Year 10 Hard Materials Product Design in the Workshop -

This course will be taught in a traditional hard materials workshop.

The year long course has been designed to give students an experience in a range of hard materials to produce a range of product design projects including including producing:

  • Skills based speaker project with a focus on different techniques for joining hard materials

  • Sustainable Toy Manufacture

  • LED Light production

Students will have the opportunity to learn design software like Adobe Illustrator and techsoft to enhance their product outcomes with the use of a laser cut, 3D printed or dye sublimation printed component.

Students will understand how electronics can be incorporated into product design and experience how to solder and join a simple circuit together to produce sound/light.

Within all three outcomes produced students will use the design process to understand how to meet stakeholder needs, produce creative/innovative ideas, incorporate computer design softwares and understand how to evaluate and refine work.
