MS|Design and Technology: Empowering Students Through Hands-On Learning

发布时间:2024年12月17日 08:34 编辑: 

The design and technology subject offers a comprehensive curriculum that includes woodworking and computer-aided design (CAD), providing students with valuable hands-on experience and technical skills. In woodworking, students have the opportunity to explore various techniques, materials, and tools, allowing them to refine their craftsmanship and creativity. They learn to design and create functional projects, fostering both problem-solving abilities and an appreciation for traditional skills.



In addition to woodworking, students develop their computer skills through CAD, where they learn to design 3D objects. This aspect of the curriculum enhances their technical proficiency and encourages them to think critically and develop new and novel ways of solving problems. By combining practical and digital skills, the design and technology class prepares students for a range of future opportunities, whether in further education or careers in design, engineering, and technology.


Grade 6 

Our Grade Six students have had an enriching experience in design and technology while building birdhouses. This project has taught them how to use woodworking machinery and introduced them to basic joinery techniques. Additionally, they have begun learning about CAD software, exploring its applications and importance in design. This hands-on approach is designed to improve their practical skills and encourage creativity as they bring their ideas to life.




Grade 7&8 

Our Grade Seven and Eight students have enjoyed a hands-on experience in design and technology by building keepsake boxes. They've delved into advanced joinery techniques and gained confidence in using heavy machinery. Along the way, they’ve learned about different materials, including the distinctions between hardwood and softwood, as well as aspects like wood grains and density. Additionally, they have been exploring CAD software, mastering the manipulation of virtual objects, designing complex shapes, and bringing their drawings to life.
