This course is based on the technology curriculum and is assessed against a combination of achievement standard credits. There are no examinations, however Achievement Standard 91049 and Achievement Standard 91063 are assessed externally. Students will complete two major portfolios, embedding some achievement standards with one another. The focus is on skill development, creating and adapting patterns to construct a product. The projects are designed for students to use a technological approach, as well as their creative skills, when developing their design and technical skills. Students create a range of products for themselves and are also encouraged to enter into design competitions.
