13 Impact Project (13IPP)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Nathan Walsh.

13 Impact Project

Are you passionate about working on a project of your choice? Impact Project enables you to use your skills from another subject you study at Te Puna Wai o Waipapa - Hagley College, to work on a major project. Use your skills from a range of subjects such as Digital Technologies, Art, Sculpture, Fashion, Music, Electronics, Hard materials, or Stagecraft (and many others) to research, design, and create your project. From designing a website for teenagers to creating a musical instrument from recycled materials, you will be supported throughout your project and will have valuable input from your key stakeholders to help you design the best project you can. There is a lot of scope in this course for self-directed learning so you will need to be motivated and be able to work independently. This course will prepare you for further study or a career path in many areas of New Zealand’s innovative community.
