[Design and Technology] Prac Projects

Thu Apr 30 00:49:42 UTC 2020

I'm doing entirely digital/cad-cam design projects at all levels now.

Year 8's are working on 3 3-week design challenges - first was modelling their own home including 6 orthog drawings, Year 9's are currently designing rapid prototype jewellery, VCE working on folios.  

All working with 3D printing - I took our printers home and am running a fab-lab out of my garage, and posting finished articles to students.

    Hi Liz,
    I'm sticking to the SAT date for criteria 1 -3. Due around mid May. So is my colleague.  I'll start the theory for Unit 3 Out 2. I need to discuss with my Wood Colleague how will we will do the remote SAC. Ill look at what aspects of the folio we can do from home but given that the criteria will be modified, waiting to hear what the expectation will look like.
    Cheers

    Hi everyone,
    I really appreciate the feedback about online teaching/resources for the SAC etc and VCE progress.
    I had assumed that we would have had subject specific advice from VCAA regarding date changes and expectations. Does anyone have any news?
    I just wanted to know if people are still sticking to the SAT (criteria 1-3) due date for next month and if we are allowed to start Unit 4 AOS 1 during this term, so we can hold off production till next term.
    I would love to hear what others are doing.
    Thanks,
    Liz
