Workshop Technology

Workshop Technology is based upon forming knowledge and skills that can be applied in the context of woodworking and engineering, within the school workshop. Students are encouraged to use knowledge and skills from other areas of the curriculum, such as mathematics and science, to help them develop the practical skills required to creatively problem solve in the workshop. They will have the opportunity to independently design, model, plan and create a technological outcome that can be completed in the school workshop and design centre. Students will develop an understanding of how modelling is used as a thinking process to evaluate the success of a potential outcome. They will need to consider the materials to be used, application of tools, methods, practical skills required and processes that they will need to go through to develop the final product.
