Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Hodson.
Material Technology
In Hard Materials Technology, students will engage in a creative and hands-on learning environment, working on at least two major projects throughout the year. They will start by designing and constructing a scooter, gaining practical experience in MIG welding, working with metal profiles, metal preparation, and design techniques. Additionally, students will steam and press their own skateboard deck, applying skills that are transferable to future projects. This course strikes a balance between developing technical skills and following a structured design process. It encourages creativity, critical and logical thinking, and problem-solving, while fostering resilience and a strong foundation in practical craftsmanship.
By the end of this course, students will not only have expanded their practical skills in materials technology but also developed invaluable life skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. Join us as we explore the intersection of design, technology, and creativity in a dynamic and supportive learning environment!
