Students have the opportunity to design and produce products, services and environments.
Creating physical and digital model simulations and identifying relationships between objects in the real world.
Central to student learning, students will be exposed to safe work practices, appropriate use of equipment and materials, and the development of techniques and processes. These skills will be applied to produce practical solutions through STEM based challenges, resulting via the design, make and appraise process. Students will also learn introductory Technical Drafting skills.
Year 7 Tech Studies tasks include:
- House design and digital model construction
- Bridge design and model construction
Assessment:
Students are assessed using the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
