Year 10 Graphics

Course Description

The aim of this Graphics class is to look at real world problems and find suitable solutions 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 you will develop those skills further.
