Marlborough Boys’ College
Year 10 Graphics (Design and Make)
Course Description
Course Description
The aim of Graphics (Design and Make) is to look at real world problems and find suitable solutions.
How do we do that?!...
...By using the technology design process.
Students in this subject will be drawing, making models, testing ideas, using 3D printers, evaluating, refining and getting feedback from stakeholders on their solutions to create a final outcome. If you did the year 9 course then think of this course as the same but with more opportunity to come up with your own ideas and make it happen in your own way.
Once we get to year 11 we can move into a multitude of design related subject areas such as Materials Technology, DVC and Furniture.
