In 2009 the year 9 students got to choose weather they wanted to do Wood Tech, Metal Tech, Plastic Tech, or Soft Materials. I chose wood tech because I had previously done it in years 7/8. In wood tech my teacher (Mr Ratnam) told us we would be making a clock. We would be making everything and painting it the design we wanted. We had wood tech twice a week (Monday/Thursday) it’s actually three times a week but we had graphics instead on Friday because our wood tech teacher is busy that day.
Wood tech is a lot of fun because you get to experience using new machines and making the clock that YOU want. We do wood tech for two terms and most of the time we are in the workshop making our clock and putting it together, not much writing.
Overall wood tech was heaps of fun. It is a great opportunity and you don’t need to be good at building or painting to do wood tech.
