Product Design |
Games Case Rack |
Students will manufacture a rack using a mortise and tenon joint, which then becomes the focus for evaluation of fitness for purpose. The students will then develop the basic design to their own specification, utilising the lessons learned from the earlier evaluation. The ‘rack’ with improvements will be modelled and manufactured in the light of this experience with the added challenge of incorporating a re-cycled material. |

Students are introduced to pop-up books with different mechanisms and use their graphical and making skills to design and making their own books. Using their own drawing and computer skills pupils illustrate the pages and turn their designs into a children’s book with moving pictures. Learning about motion and linkages. |
