Classroom Practice: Year 12/13
Title: Enterprising Technology
Duration: Whole year
Overview: This case study looks at a Food Technology class undertaking a Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) pilot programme – Enterprising Technologies. The Year 12/13 class ranged in ability, motivation, and experience, and ultimately the Year 13 group completed their YES project while the Year 12s concentrated on individual product-development work. Teacher Marietjie van Schalkwyk offered students the opportunity to be assessed for NCEA Achievement Standards or Unit Standards.
Focus Points:
- YES pilot programme – Enterprising Technology
- Developing a product based on previous student investigations
- Intellectual property (IP)
- Client contract
- Mass production
- Potential move from school project to private enterprise
