“You Light Up My Life”

To begin Grade 10, students undertake a full Design Cycle project combining power electrical circuits and illumination.  The cultural and historical roles of illumination are emphasized as student design and create lighting devices.  Developing research skills is also a central aspect of this unit as students research different types of lighting, e.g. LED, incandescent, fluorescent, task, ambient, etc. and electrical safety.  Students must also have a real client and lighting problem they solve by designing and making an illumination device.
