At the end of year 1, students should be able to:
i. outline a plan, which considers the use of resources and time, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution
ii. demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
iii. follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended
iv. list the changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution
The following exemplars were all marked as a 7 or an 8:
7 - 8
i. outlines a plan, which considers the use of resources and time, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution5 - 6
i. lists the steps in a plan, which considers time and resources, resulting in peers being able to follow the plan to create the solution3 - 4
i. lists the main steps in a plan that contains some details, resulting in peers having difficulty following the plan to create the solution1 - 2
i. demonstrates minimal technical skills when making the solutionC1 Product Exemplars

At the end of year 3, students should be able to:
i. construct a logical plan, which outlines the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution
ii. demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
iii. follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended
iv. explain changes made to the chosen design and the plan when making the solution
The following exemplars were all marked as a 7 or an 8:

At the end of year 5, students should be able to:
i. construct a logical plan, which describes the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution
ii. demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
iii. follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended
iv. fully justify changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution.
The following exemplars were all marked as a 7 or an 8:
7 - 8
i. constructs a detailed and logical plan, which describes the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution5 - 6
i. constructs a logical plan, which considers time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution3 - 4
i. constructs a plan that contains some production details, resulting in peers having difficulty following the plan1 - 2

Step: Simple documentation of what step you are taking in the process (i.e. concept sketching).
~ Time: Approximate (~) time needed to complete the step.
Resources: List resources needed to complete the step (i.e. A4 paper, pencil and ruler)
Process: Brief description of the process you will go through.
Progress / Changes: Document actual time and any changes you made to the process.
Present your final design and document whether or not you met your Key Dates or had to change your plans. This can also be a link to your final product or solution.
When presenting in public, it's important to use the following acronym and rubric to polish your presentation.

During the design cycle, it is rare that everything goes to plan. Measurements need to be adjusted, unforeseen events interfere with key dates. Use the template provided to document any challenges that you encountered while making your product or solution and what changes you made to your design and plan as a result.
