Welcome to Week 11
WALT: You will be learning how to plan and construct your project using Inkscape software and the strip heater.
Success Criteria:
You will have an A3 page with your design layout. You must use a red outline and a stroke weight of 1. Any engraving must be done in black. Go to path >trace bitmap
Tracing an Image- Import a simple bitmap image (e.g. a *. jpg, *. png, *. ...
- Select the image with the Selector tool.
- In the menu, go to Path > Trace Bitmap .
- A dialog will open where you can set different options.
- When the result of the preview looks right, click on Ok . The result will be available right on the canvas.
This will be the last week for you to finish your device holder.
Inkscape can be used to generate a template for the laser cutter to cut out your designs. Please download it from Inkscape.org
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x629C55iMZk
You then need to use the strip heater to bend your design to a 3D shape.

Welcome to Week 3 Term 2
Mr Yee will be teaching you how to draw Isometric drawings of your Tic tac toe game this week.
WALT: We are learning about the Brief and Specification
This week we will be completing our Tic Tac Toe game/ Skill builder activity and begin to complete the new project document.
The brief
The brief is the guiding design document. It directs us and gives us a clear set of goals to complete. It tells us Why are we making this Technological product?What we are making? Where will it be used? When will it be completed by. Who is the stakeholder? How will we make it?
The Specifications
The details of the project. The "must haves" of the product based on the desired physical and functional attributes of the researched outcome.
Success Criteria:
A completed brief and Specification written on your document.
A completed Tic Tac Toe game.
-
Kia Ora
Welcome to week 5
WALT: This week we are learning to write a brief and specification.
A design brief is the statement a client(stakeholder)gives to a designer outlining what they want their product to be like, eg 'Design a drinks bottle holder for use while riding a bicycle'. The designer could also produce a brief on behalf of the client, as the client might have a problem but not know how to proceed.
A design specification is a list of criteria a product needs to address. Using the brief as a starting point for research, a specification can be written when more facts are known. Information needs to be found through research to help produce early design solutions and improvements.
If the criteria are measurable, it makes it easier to later measure how effective the design ideas are, eg 'How much will the design cost to produce?'
Design specifications should include:
- aesthetics
- function
- materials
- environmental issues
- performance
- target market

Kia Ora Welcome to Term 4, Week 2
Water Whanau context this term is “The Apprentice”. You will be working individually to design a mould to make soap for market day. The mould shape should be one of the geometrical shapes (Polygons or other shapes) you learned about in maths. The mould will need to be completed within 2 weeks. You will then use the mould and the vacuum former to create plastic mould for the soap liquid to be poured in.
WALT: We are learning about the design process and how to write a clear and well-structured Brief to guide us in out Learning.
Learrning Intentions: Brief writing using Technological Langauge.
Success Criteria:
Students can explain the steps of the design proccess. Students can write a brief based on their understanding of the context.
Task:
You are to write the brief and specification for the new project by answering the 5 W questions and 1 H question.
