Industry and Entrepreneurial Solutions: Innovation and 3D Printing

Course Content

The course focuses on how to develop original ideas and concepts and push them to be innovative. Prototyping, modelling and testing ideas is at the heart of making good design. Models will be made using the schools 3D printing systems, and industrial robot arm.

Students identify, create, initiate, and develop products or processes. They learn to use tools, materials, systems safely and competently, to complete a product. Students explore and analyse the impacts of technology, including social, environmental, and sustainable consequences.

Part 2 of this course further builds and develops the capabilities learnt and applied from part 1 and prepares the student for Stage 2 application of similar course.
