Year 12 Design and Technology – 2023 Shape Exhibition of HSC works

On Thursday 28 March, the Year 12 Design and Technology class had the opportunity to attend the 2023 Shape Exhibition of HSC works at Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. This was an amazing opportunity for our students, as it allowed them to see examples of Band 6 Design Projects. 

The students started off the day by attending a seminar hosted by a Design and Technology Senior HSC marker. The seminar provided the students with insights into what occurs during the marking process, what the markers are looking for within the design project and portfolio and general tips towards success. 

After the seminar, they attended a workshop where the co-founder of Espresso Display Monitor spoke about how he and his team came up with the idea of a portable display monitor. He discussed how he went from coming up with the idea to the final product. From his innovation, he now makes a 600% profit each year. 

The students then viewed the Shape Exhibition which was a big highlight of their excursion. They were able to view a range of different types of HSC works, such as industrial, digital and material projects. 

The experience was invaluable in ensuring the student’s future success and encouraging them along their HSC journey within Design and Technology.
