Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Sopers.
Through project-based learning, this course will equip students to meet the challenges of an ever-changing future in technology.

They will learn to bring life to their ideas with the design process, by using design and visual communications skills, innovation, and hands-on skills.
This course is part of the General Curriculum and if chosen will be one of your PART B selections.
Course Overview
What is taught in courses varies from year to year. This course could include:
Students will have access to laser cutters, 3D printing, and other technologies using a makerspace approach with the wood, metal, and soft materials workshops.
Using projects developed from areas of personal interest, students will work through a full design process to:
● Identify an issue
● Develop conceptual solutions to that issue
● Develop multi-material modeling skills
Disclaimer
Please note that courses will go ahead only if student numbers, staffing, and timetabling allow it. Where a subject is oversubscribed, and there are insufficient numbers or resources to create an extra class, a ballot system may be applied.
Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
