11 Product Technology
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Gareth Osmond.
Year 11 Product Technology involves:
Inventing/developing exciting new prototypes to address real needs that exist within our community. Innovation is a key component going forward in most aspects of life and is the foundation of this course.
•Students will identify an opportunity to develop their own individual product.
•They then follow a design process to develop a prototype of it.
•Students will manufacture this in the school’s workshops using a range of technologies such as welding, CNC, Hand tools, and machining.
•This course involves both academic and practical components.
•Pathway to tertiary/university courses in Engineering, Design, Technology and Product Development
Here is an example of a lighting project one of our Y11 PTC students has developed.
