DT challenges

We encourage you to photograph/display your work. Please upload photographs or videos to the Creative Arts Seniors google classroom.

Seniors can choose any or all of the following challenges.


  • Senior ball run – Make a ball run for a ball of your choice. This can be inside or out. The ball must run the entire distance by itself without your assistance. You should time your run from start to finish. If you enter your best times and take a video of your ball run we can see who wins the prize for the longest.

  • Design a garden tool that would help an elderly person.

  • Design a fancy party food of your choice. (eg. make a cake and decorate it. Design your own pizza). Don’t forget to photograph it before you eat it!!!!
