The Technology Process

The document outlines the technology design process, which includes several stages: Explore, Make Sense, Generate, Apply, and Evaluate. In the Explore stage, students define the issue, purpose, functional and adornment aspects. In Make Sense, students specify requirements. In Generate, students brainstorm ideas and develop draft designs. In Apply, students manufacture a prototype. In Evaluate, students assess how well their design fulfilled the goals. The process is meant to guide students through developing a design with evidence and testing their final prototype.

GRAND DESIGNS

The Process of Design: Part Two

THE TECHNOLOGY PROCESS 


For this unit of work you have been asked to support your design process with evidence.
Use the Technology Process to help with your thinking and to support your ideas.

Use a new page for each heading. Make sure you include a ​title page​ for the unit of work
and include the Design Process Criteria document.
 
EXPLORE! 
ISSUE 
● What is the issue?

● What have I been asked to do?

● Who will be involved?


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MAKE SENSE! 
SPECIFICATIONS 
● Are there any other specifications?

● Does it need to be made to scale, proportion?

● What mathematics do I need to include or learn in order to complete my design


well?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
GENERATE! 
IDEAS (CONCEPTS) 
● What could you make?
Create a collage of different design ideas. You might wish to use magazines or websites
like Pinterest, Instagram, We love it, Raverley, Etsy or YouTube.
Please ​reference​ where you get the idea from to acknowledge the original creator.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
DEVELOPMENT (DRAFT DESIGNS) 
Take your ideas and develop them further.
● How could you make the idea different?
● How could you make the idea function better?
● How could you make the idea drape better when worn?
Note:​ This part will take several pages. Use a new page for each idea that you decide to
develop. Include your measurements, ​annotations​ and if possible material samples and
colours to your design.
