Pre-requisites
Stage 1 Robotics & Electronic Systems
Subject Description
In Design, Technology, and Engineering, students use the design and realisation process to engineer solutions for the development of products or systems. Robotics and Electronic Systems gives students an opportunity to develop their STEM and entrepreneurial skills through designing, developing and producing a marketable robot or automated system. While it is recommended that students work to perfect their project from Stage 1, they have the option of developing a brand new project instead.
During the year, students will have the opportunity to market their projects to staff and the community in a similar manner to KickStarter or Indegogo.
The end goal of the year is for each student to have produced an aesthetically pleasing, fully functional product that is ready to market and can be distributed to interested parties. Students will need to investigate design principles, ways to simplify and speed up manufacture of multiple items and cost efficiency measures they can take to ensure a high quality, low cost product.
