Overview
Students investigate the technological change of products and environments over time. They identify and describe the competing considerations in the design of both traditional and modern products and environments. The contribution of design and technologies to meeting needs are also described. Students explain how the features of technologies impact of designed solutions. Following the design process, students meet the identified needs of users through the creation and modification of products and environments.
