Design styles clock

In this project you will explore the history of design as you learn about several of the key design movements and products based on these styles.

You will put your knowledge to the test as you design your own  product based on a design style from the last 100 years.

You will work through the design process to develop and manufacture your own clock based on one of the design styles you explored as part of your research.

Sweet dispenser

The aim of this project is to give you an introduction into the basics of circuit design.  You will explore a range of electronic components before constructing your own circuit.

You will design, develop and manufacture a USB powered, decorative desk lamp using the high power LED provided. 

As you develop your ideas you will explore alternative ways of encasing the LED in order to produce a decorative lighting effect.

Pewter casting

You will learn about the source of metals as you explore a range of different examples and gain an understanding of why they are used in different applications.

This project focusses on the shaping of metals using the casting process which you will use as you mould your own metal product.

You will design, develop and manufacture your own mould which you will then put to the test as you shape a small item of jewellery, key-tag or decoration.
