The first is a skills-based project, aimed at building confidence in basic construction procedures.
In the second project, through the use of freehand sketching skills, students will generate design ideas to meet a brief using the design process.
In the third project, students will learn basic pattern-making adaptations to reflect the final conceptual design from project 2.
