GCSE Design and Technology: Product Design enables students to design and make products with creativity and originality, using a range of materials and techniques.  Packaging, labelling and instructions are encouraged as part of the complete design proposal and advertising, points of sale can be used to supplement the making experience and help create products which can be evaluated for their commercial viability.
