Design and Technology
Design and Technology calls for students to become autonomous and creative problem solvers, as individuals and as members of a team. They must look for needs, wants and opportunities and respond to them by developing a range of ideas and manufacturing creative products from a range of materials and components. Students will make creative use of ICT, using a range of specialist software and high quality CAD/CAM packages.
