End of Year In Situ Project - My Passion Year 11 Design Technology focuses on critical context project based learning. Any kind of material is used to create a physical outcome and digital technologies supports the theory work of the outcome. This is a 12 credit assessment with two internal achievement standards. The final outcome is a product intended for the student in collaboration with stakeholders. It is based on the student's passion.

For example students can create a skateboard deck design if they are into skateboarding and have a competition coming up soon. Students can construct a garment that they would like to wear to an event like a birthday party. Students can make Korowai that is then used as a gift as Toanga to special representatives of their whānau or school. Youtube is then used to create vlogging instructional videos on korowai construction. Student can create a product for example shoes or jewellery using 3D printing, 3D modelling software and Tinkercad. It can be worn to a special occasion. The student may attend a wedding and make the bridal tiara and bridesmaids fascinators.
