The project is a travel game designed to be enclosed inside a CD case. Students work to design and develop a game design that can be laser cut. They then also develop a CD sleeve using graphics skills. Extension tasks can be used to develop a blister packaging or the game. This project includes various resources including a project plan, student work booklet, example templates.

A set of recipes used to tech students a range of different cooking skills with a sweet focus.
