Mentoring Program

Many students have joined the Design and Technology Mentoring program offered by way of the website www.designandtechhelp.com.

Lots of students have asked me why have I offered my time so cheaply, other coaching schemes cost hundreds of dollars?

“My aim is to put information out there!” the small amount received covers the cost for software web operating costs.

If you need help even at this late stage please email me on technology1@exemail.com.au

All the best with your project

regards

Colin

Use information available to you from the Board of Studies

Often D & T students ask me questions about their Design and Technology course which is readily available on Board of Studies websites. I am amazed how many students get to this stage of their project and have not read the advice from their educational authorities.

Here are some sites you should have read by now.

Design and Technology-Talk to your friends and visit companies

When developing ideas for your Major Design Project talk to your friends and visit companies to get ideas. It is amazing to see the face of a student who thinks they have a brand new innovation only to find several months down the track the idea is already been produced. Research, research and then do more research, to generate your ideas.
