Design
and Technology prepares students to participate in today’s
and tomorrow's rapidly changing technological world. Through
Design and Technology, all students
can become critical and informed users of products, and become
designers and innovators. Students will learn to think and do something
creative to improve the quality of life for everything.
Design and Technology is about students becoming self-motivated,
creative, problem solvers and allows them to work both as individuals
and as members of a team.
Students will look for needs, wants and opportunities and respond
to
them
by developing a range of design ideas and by making and evaluating
products and systems.
In Design and Technology students will combine practical skills with an understanding
of aesthetics, social issues, environmental issues, function, and industrial
practices. Students will consider the use and
effects of present and past Design
and Technology.
