Year 9 Industrial Design

Subject Description

How do I combine creativity and technology to make products that I can use, sell or create a business from? How can I incorporate sustainable and circular design methods? In this course, students will be immersed in a creative process using materials and technologies to produce functional products. Students explore sustainable and circular design techniques when ideating and creating designs while developing skills to generate their own solutions. The course culminates in students developing a table lamp and tapas board that utilises repurposed materials and/or waste. Students explore how, as designers, clean and green is essential for our future.
