The Year 9 Design Technology course calls on students to develop new and interesting products to meet a design brief set by their teacher. Last term’s project required boys to rethink an existing material or object. James Kolesnyk (9/MO),  recycled a blown V8 engine into an aesthetically pleasing piece of interior design. A Range Rover V8 engine was chosen to meet the size requirements (500 x 500 x 500) and was done to specification of the Top Gear coffee table, complete with pistons holding up the glass. As seen in the photo above, the coffee table is now being shown in the Technology wing, alongside many HSC major projects.

This is a great example of how a younger student can create an interesting product that anyone can appreciate.
