Summary
This is a practical course where students can choose to work with wood, metal or textiles in the design and manufacture of products. This is also a course about ideas, innovation and creativity. In order to do these well, students research and test materials and use strategies to develop innovative and creative ideas. They apply skills of management in planning and implementing a process, at the same time as they manipulate tools and machines to produce high-quality products.
