Technology: Year 7 Making our outcomes

We have been busy making our final outcomes

we are using the computers to make them to a high level of quality

we have to measure our prototypes then use rulers on the computer to measure our images

we have to be smart when using the computers

we use copy and paste a lot

this keeps our images, words and numbers consistent

it also speeds up the making process

once complete we print out the final outcomes

then we cut them and laminate them to make sure they are durable

some of our designs are too big to laminate in class- we have to use the library laminator

we learnt some new skills- how to draw on the computer

we had to be very accurate

we had to cut out carefully

we used scissors for outside lines and a knife, and cutting mat for inside lines

we had to be resourceful- we needed sides for our pool table

we needed balls for our table too

we used milk bottle tops

we tested our outcomes before we took them to the New Entrant/Year 1's
