Critical and creative thinking

In this subject students extend and apply their critical and creative thinking capability by, for example: 

• analysing existing product or system characteristics and features to inform the design and realisation process 
• visualising possibilities and scoping solutions 
• adapting the design development in response to results of testing and research 
• identifying and deconstructing problems 
• using initiative in designing products or concept solutions 
• evaluating existing and proposed designs of products or systems 
• designing innovative, creative, and appropriate solutions using available materials 
• critically evaluating entrepreneurial opportunities (e.g. patents, marketing and distribution, mass production, online publishing, crowd-sourcing).
