This year’s SHAPE exhibition features 33 projects by Design and Technology, Industrial Technology and Textiles and Design students from the 2021 HSC.
NSW Education Standards Authority Chief Executive Officer Paul Martin said the work on display from the HSC Class of 2021, was insightful, thought-provoking and inspiring.
“Despite the challenges of their final school year, HSC Technology students were able to achieve outstanding results, and in some cases harnessed their experiences of the pandemic to drive innovation,” he said.
“Students also reflected on the environment, sustainability and well-being in their work, revealing their capacity for critical thinking, creativity and adaptability.
“My thanks goes to the Technology teachers who supported their students both from home and in the classroom.
“You have helped to inspire the next generation of innovators, equipping them with the skills needed to succeed in their studies, work and life.”
Powerhouse Chief Executive Lisa Havilah says this year’s exhibition is a wonderful display of the ingenuity of young people.
“We are proud to continue our collaboration with NSW Education Standards Authority to showcase the next generation of designers who demonstrated resilience and innovation in a universally challenging year,” she said.
SHAPE 2021 is open until Sunday, August 14.
