Year 11 have been working on their GCSE NEAs and have chosen between 3 contexts:
Preparing for emergencies
Outdoor living

After choosing their contexts, students identified their client and researched their target market before selecting their final problem to design a product for.

They are now exploring manufacturing and construction techniques needed to make their final products.
