Masterclass
This workshop will seek to enhance your understanding of the Design Technologies framework. Projects for all year groups will be provided on the topic of food and fibre. The frameworks link directly to the land and resources of our local area and seeks to enhance our cultural understanding through the ACARA Science elaborations. Activities will be hands on, creative and will incorporate elements of digital technology use from the Primary School resources. Assessment rubrics will be explored and provided for each topic based upon SCSA’s Achievement Standards.
Anna Ritzema is program coordinator of The Graham Polly Farmer Foundation, Karratha STEM Centre. She is also a class teacher at Tambrey Primary School. Having worked as a Professional Learning Consultant for Scitech and been part of the Play Strategy WA she relishes inquiry based approaches with lots of fun components.
