Ākonga who enjoy designing and making things should enrol in this subject. Technology ākonga can choose to work in food technology, hard materials or fashion/textiles technology. Ākonga use the design process and develop their technological skills in areas that interest them. Technology encourages ākonga to think creatively and design practical solutions to problems they have identified. Ākonga are expected to work with people and with resources in their community so that their projects are meaningful and authentic.
This course is for ākonga who enjoy innovating and creating practical things. Ākonga chose an area that interests them (food technology, hard materials or fashion and textiles) and work with people to identify real-life opportunities to design, develop and construct technological solutions.
Ākonga work creatively to combine function and aesthetics, and consider a technologist’s responsibility to the wider community. Ākonga follow a case study that models the design process and the designer/stakeholder relationship and provides practical teaching and guidance. Ākonga use this case study to develop their understanding of design, visual thinking, investigation, planning and construction. Individual projects can be developed on request.
