There is a tonne of information on the Hills Hoist, but try to think of something a little more innovative! Sorry to sound harsh, but the hills hoist is pretty boring, and its better if you think of a innovation that has perhaps an environmental, political, social... issue because it will come in a lot more handy later on.

Well i wrote mine innovation on the Sydney Opera House because there were so many problems during construction, not to mention has defined the theatrical and performance field that Australia has to offer, in some respects. But I ended up having more than 20 innovations..

katie if you want to go with the hills hoist which is a GREAT idea google it or go to ask jeeves there would be heaps on the net also in encyclopedias and australian invetnion books which im sure your libary has. good luck! and dont change your ideas because someone puts you down. stick with what you want to do and make it your own. remember take in what other people say but this is YOUR project and it has to be done YOUR WAY!!

One important bit of advise i can give anyone doing their case study is to do something different and get off the damn hills hoist. To get a great mark you either have to do a bloody good job of it and i mean fantastic because over the years thousands and thousands of people have done it and im sure the markers have read everything. Or alternitively get ur ass into gear, actually do some research and try and find something that is out of the ordinary, interesting and that hasn't been regurgitated by every second DT student in the state. Impress ur teachers with something different aswell, it gives them an indication that ur interested in what ur doing and have the initiative to go beyond the 'easy way out' and do well.
