Minecraft project
Radiata Pine, dowel, brass.
Students selected a Minecraft character to change in three ways, and were given a pack of limited materials to construct their project. They also explored movement using timber, as their characters were required to have moving parts. Their own designs formed the basis for construction using different joining techniques learnt throughout the semester. Students were inducted into some powered tools to shape and form different components.
Pencil Boxes
Radiata Pine, Plywood, Acrylic
Students analysed products and artworks of the Bauhaus Movement, which inspired their own designs. These were then digitally formatted using vector based software and laser cut as the pencil box lid. Students constructed the pencil box in pine timber using a range of traditional woodworking techniques.

Bridge Building
Plywood, radiata pine, cotton yarn
Students studied a variety of bridge types before collaboratively designing and engineering a bridge to hold maximum loads. As part of the learning by making process, they learnt about material properties and concepts including tension and compression. Students competed with other class members to design and construct the lightest bridge that carried the maximum load. These were tested in the workshop until they reached breaking point.
