Unit 1 is concerned with working with wood, and involves designing and making a message pad holder. Unit 2 focuses on structures, electronics, and systems. You will be designing and making a decorative object for a celebration. Unit 3 involves using wood and plastic to design and make a pocket-sized maze game. Unit 4 is about graphics and structures. Here you will be designing and making a menu and other items for a chain of new high street cafes. The focus in Unit 5 is batch production. Can you design and make a flower holder in quantity? Unit 6 is about mechanisms and electronics. It involves designing and making a moving money box for charity.
