Student Achievement
Product Design & Technology - Resin Pour
21 August
Recently, Damascus College year 12 students Corine, Chloe and Nick who are undertaking Product Design and Technology (Wood & Metal) reached a critical point in their projects, the resin pour.
This subject focuses on design thinking, creative problem solving and understanding product design factors. Through this subject, students take on the role of the design maker. It enables students to produce innovative solutions to various set design problems and develop research skills through several investigation assignments. Students work through a series of projects using a range of materials and systems drawn from wood, metal and plastics. These projects are designed to encourage students to develop skills in investigation and technical reporting, designing, manufacturing and evaluation.
Projects being undertaken by the students have presented some challenges, leaks and resin tackiness just to name a few. But these have been taken in stride, and have proven to be teachable moments.
With the resin poured, the next stage in the process is for the resin to cure before sanding, buffing and staining can take place. We are looking forward to seeing the finished products which will be on display at the 2023 Visual Arts & Technology exhibition held next term.
