By combining intellectual and practical skills through investigative activities, targeted practical tasks, modeling, design, construction, and ongoing evaluation, the education of design and technology is a unique, creative, and logical process. It teaches students to understand that both nature and human activity have contributed to the environment around them.

Additionally, it gets them ready for a society that depends more and more on technology for both living and working. Project-based DT at City Rand College aims to cultivate a wide range of fundamental practical abilities. Highlights include design-and-make competitions like our most recent Bird Box Build, workshops like the incredibly fun Lego Challenge, and perennial favorites like glove puppets, wire sculptures, and gravity racer models.
