Objectives:

The Magee Design and Fabrication (MDF) program offers students the opportunity to design and fabricate objects using a variety of materials, methods, technologies and tools. Using creative and critical thinking, students will work individually and collaboratively to problem solve by exploring materials, using tools and equipment, designing and building, developing processes and communicating the merits of their work. 

 Learning in MDF provides students with firm foundations for lifelong learning, an opportunity for specialized study and a chance to explore a diverse range of careers. It develops well-rounded citizens who are informed creators and consumers, while fostering the development of future problem solvers, innovators, and skilled workers who can contribute to solving problems not yet anticipated with processes and technologies not yet imagined in order to improve their lives, the lives of others and the environment.
