This is the third part of a series where I share an example project – in five sections :-

  1. Planning
  2. Research
  3. Development
  4. Manipulative Skills
  5. Evaluation

This is the third section Product Development and I welcome any comments or questions and then will publish what was given by the external examiner at the end of the series. Note our Design Technology department now asks all students to produce the folio as a PDF document that can easily be printed and shared and any freehand or other drawings scanned and attached to each sheet.

Anyway without further ado – the third section is Product Development which has the following criteria:-
