Why study Technology?

With its focus on design thinking, technology education supports students to be innovative, reflective, and critical in designing new models, products, software, systems, and tools to benefit people while taking account of their impact on cultural, ethical, environmental, and economic conditions.

The aim is for you to develop broad technological knowledge, practices, and dispositions that will equip you to participate in society as informed citizens and provide a platform for technology-related careers. You will learn that technology is the result of human activity by exploring stories and experiences from your heritage, from Aotearoa New Zealand’s rich cultural environment, and from contemporary examples of technology. As you learn in technology, you draw on and further develop the key competencies.
