- Students will produce a portfolio by working through a variety of small design and make projects
- The portfolio will develop the skills that students need to produce their final NEA project in Year 13, as well as providing them with a body of work for University, Job, and Apprenticeship interviews. Projects including Smartemp (laser cut acrylic thermometer with thermochromic strip), Alessi Egg Cup (CAD/CAM project), Decorative Jewellery (laminated wood), PolyPro Lamp (lighting using polypropylene and other materials)

- Student will complete a number of theory-based activities including note taking, extended research, case studies, and practice examination questions on Technical Principles
- The topics include all material categories their properties and uses, all material joining and processing methods, enhancement of materials and material finishes, scales of production, the use of computer systems, digital design and manufacture, product development and improvement, Health and Safety in the workplace, consumer safety, intellectual property rights, manufacture for maintenance and repair, product disassembly, feasibility studies, and enterprise and marketing
