How about you try your hand at building a telescope (prefferably your own design of a Newtownian).
If you really wanted to impress, you could design a telescope made from recycled or easily accerssible materials and focus your project on globalising amateur astronomy, say for rural setings or third-world countries.
I'm also about to enter year twelve but I don't take D&T, though I am always considering what I could have done for a major project.
