Technology
Design and technology is a subject that plays a fundamental role in our everyday lives. With an emphasis on authentic practice, design and technology at BHS promotes creative invention and design innovation that solve real and relevant problems. We prepare students to become critical and creative designers, engineers and consumers of the future.
Students are able to engage in a variety of contexts to understand and appreciate the design and manufacture of existing products, making them more empathetic designers and more discriminating purchasers. Students learn to deliver their thinking and design skills through iterative design processes that allow them to explore, create and evaluate their design concepts.

Design is a funny word. Some people think it's about how it looks. Of course if you dig deeper its really how it works - Steve Jobs
