Food Technology
This course is perfect for creative thinkers and foodies who love a challenge! Ākonga will start the year by critiquing existing food products to discover what makes great design truly stand out. Then comes the main event — developing an innovative food prototype that meets the needs of a specific dietary lifestyle. Along the way, they’ll bring their ideas to life through concept development, functional modelling, and prototyping, all while seeking and gaining feedback from real industry experts. As a final challenge, students will perform complex cooking procedures to create a high-quality food product. This course is an ideal stepping stone for those considering study or a career in food science or product development.
