Illuminating designs…
Here are just a few of the great lamp designs that are being produced by year 9 DT students.
The lamps were to be designed flat-pack, and assembled by the end user, adding an extra challenge to the project. Students developed skills in creative design, CAD/CAM and electronics.
Featured designers this week are Tiffany Chong, Christophe Hatterer, Ryan Krishnamohan and Megan Lam.
