Content: Students design and manufacture solutions using simple manufacturing methods, hand tools, machines and basic materials that can include; small vice, camping barbeque, metal bottle opener or sheet metal dustpan. Students will plan to consider various materials and methods when manufacturing their projects to help them develop important skills such as:
- Project planning and management
- Understanding materials and process
- Communication and problem solving
