Teamwork is required when students design, trial, produce, market, trade, and evaluate a product.
Students gain technological knowledge and understanding, as well as technological capability. Written and oral communication is applied as students work in teams, negotiate contracts, promote products, develop and apply systems, write CVs and letters. Number and measurement skills are practised as students attempt to use resources efficiently - to at least cover the cost of the resources they have purchased from wholesale supplies. PrEP is designed to generate issues and problems for students to solve. These issues and problems arise as a consequence of the decisions students and their teachers make.
