Design Technology is a practical subject in which students follow a design brief to develop and make a practical outcome. The focus is on designing and making, using tools, materials and processes. The concept of Tikanga will be explored through process, materials and ideas. Ideas will be developed through drawing and modelling before being made. Investigation of designers, makers and products develops an understanding of the importance of manaaki whenua (care of the land) and manaaki tangata (people). Auahatanga (innovation) skills will be integrated into technological practice as students design and make their product. There will be a choice of contexts offered which include: wooden furniture, storage items and jewellery.
