Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Ching.

Students are required to design and make a project using one or more hard materials such as wood, metal, acrylic. This requires students to use basic procedures using resistant materials in a manner that economises time, effort, and materials to make a specified product, for example, a study desk. 


The project will draw upon the student’s interests, cultural background, and local environment. They develop portfolios of work that include planning, research, design, production of a solution, and evaluation. At least the first term will be spent on written research, planning, and design. The external standard takes the form of a written report. The final date for external submission is the end of October unless otherwise notified.
