Skills Handbook Part 2

What is technology?

• Making a new invention

• The knowledge, processes, and products to make life easier and solve problems

• Building a prototype to test in the design process

Prototypes...

• Rarely work the first time

• Are an early model that is tested in the design process

• Can be redesigned

• Always lead to a new invention
