Resistant Materials is a course that focuses on the way in which products are made and the materials that they are made from.
Everything around us has been designed and manufactured at some point and the Resistant Materials course will give those participating on it a broad understanding of a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes.
Students will spend years 9 and most of year10 completing a range of skill building practical activities as well as learning crucial theory knowledge.
Midway though year 10 students begin their major project which can be selected from a range of tasks set by the exam board. Students produce an A3 portfolio along with a final functional product that they design and manufacture from scratch, using a range of materials.
Resistant Materials would suit any student that has an inquisitive mind and would like to progress towards a Product design, Engineering or Architectural career.
