DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY

The D & T Labs at Kasiga School provide a broad based exposure to various aspects of the discipline. The theory and principles of design, drawing, materials and control systems are taught using conventional classroom methods, audio visual presentations, library references and online resources. The students are also introduced to basic CAD design although this is not a “hands on” experience at present. Practical work is handled as a part of project work or activity sessions during which budding designers are encouraged to create and implement a project of their choice and design with comprehensive instructor support and training to use a variety of materials tools and techniques. Introduction to the use of hand and power tools with a view to achieving proficiency at manufacturing methods is an important part of this course. Aero modeling, Electronics, Woodworking, Paper craft, Glass work and Model making are all activities that are available to the students. Students are involved in projects on Architectural modeling , Science concept demonstrations , Paper - Balsa wood gliders, Metal work (including soldering and basic low temperature alloy castings), decorative woodwork, glass etching and musical instrument modeling. We believe that the introduction of this subject as a part of the regular curriculum will certainly inspire a large number of students to look at design and engineering as a career option allowing them to enrich their lives and the lives of others with their creativity.
