Technologists' Practice case studies
These case studies tell the stories of technological projects from throughout New Zealand and beyond from conception to completion.
They provide an excellent classroom resource for Technology teachers to use as examples of product, process and problem-solving in Technological Practice, and to celebrate the excellence of innovative New Zealanders.
Each case study is supported by links to more detailed information, including background, technological knowledge, career profiles, a glossary and illustrations of components of practice.
