Year 10 Design Technology

Year 10 Design Technology is a hands-on course that develops creativity, problem-solving, and practical skills. Students complete design challenges to safely use tools and machinery, produce sketches and prototypes, and refine ideas through testing and feedback.

Working in a workshop environment, learners move between designing and making, applying a step-by-step design process to meet user needs. The course concludes with a student-led final project, allowing creativity and design thinking to shape a unique outcome.

Throughout the year, students gain confidence in planning, experimenting, and making decisions about materials and construction methods. They also develop critical thinking, organisation, and problem-solving skills that are valuable both in the workshop and beyond the classroom.

This programme provides a strong foundation course for senior Design Technology pathways.
