Course Description

The intention of this course is for students to be engaged in an authentic technological experience in the context of making a soft material outcome that suits their needs.

This course would be suitable for students who enjoy a more practical, skills based course. Assessments are written in line with Level 5 of the curriculum. The achievement objectives and learning outcomes are centred in the Technology Curriculum but also incorporate other subject strands. Students will learn essential textiles and fashion construction techniques, which will be applied to a product / outcome, which they have designed and developed to meet their identified need.
