Year 10 Design

In Year 10 Design, students dive into the world of brainstorming, sketching, and creating. It's all about developing interesting concepts and making them happen.

Students tackle real-world problems and come up with innovative solutions using design thinking. Whether it's something that affects them more locally or is a national or global challenge, students get to explore and create.

In this course students will:

鈥� Discover needs and opportunities around them and beyond.

鈥� Develop interesting proposals and build prototypes.

鈥� Work solo and team up with classmates to boost their creativity and critical thinking.

鈥� Develop their sketching and communication skills to bring ideas to life.
