MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY Materials Technology introduces students to the design process, enabling them to find creative solutions to real- world challenges. Students sketch ideas, produce isometric drawings, conduct hazard identification and risk analysis, and plan production processes. They work with materials such as wood, metal, and plastics, using hand and power tools to craft functional products. Throughout the course, students refine their measuring, marking, and construction skills, testing and modifying their designs to improve quality and functionality. Each project is documented in a design folio, fostering a systematic approach to problem-solving and innovation.
Build Tomorrow’s Solutions Today - Where Technologies Can Take You Studying Technologies opens the door to a wide range of exciting futures. Whether you’re interested in design, engineering, digital media, coding, or problem-solving, technologies give you the skills to create, innovate and build real-world solutions. You could pursue careers in: • Architecture and industrial design • Engineering and construction • Software and app development • Game design and animation • Robotics and automation • Fashion, food or product design

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
Digital Technology equips students with fundamental coding and programming skills. They explore binary numbers and apply visual programming techniques to create digital solutions, including games and robotic devices. Students develop, test, and refine their programs to solve computational problems effectively. Additionally, they examine the impact of digital environments on human interaction, including the benefits and risks of social media, digital security, and the evolving landscape of cybercrime and scams. Through critical analysis and hands-on projects, students develop the skills needed to navigate and contribute to an increasingly digital world.
