Hard Materials


In Year10 Hard Materials, students will explore hands-on workshop skills and enter the exciting world of product design through the creation of a custom pewter jewellery item. Students will be introduced to key workshop skills including accurate measuring, marking out, and the safe use of hand tools. Through the product development project students will learn about the properties of materials and the design process and use 3D design software to create and refine their ideas. 

From initial concept to finished product, this course offers a hands-on experience that builds confidence, creativity and practical skills in a workshop environment. This is an ideal foundation for students interested in design, technology, or trades pathways in the senior school.
