Critical and creative thinking

In Technologies, students develop critical and creative thinking as they imagine, generate, iterate and critically evaluate ideas. Students analyse problems, refine concepts and reflect on the decision-making process by engaging in systems, design and computational thinking.

Students think critically and creatively while considering how data, information, systems, materials, tools and equipment (past and present) impact on our lives, and how these elements might be better designed and managed. Experimenting, drawing, modelling, designing and working with equipment and software helps students to build their visual and spatial thinking and to create solutions, products, services and environments.
