The Design and Production Process
The Design and Production Process
Throughout your study of Technology, you will learn about design processes and how to apply them.
You will explore different types of design processes and learn how to apply them in your design
Project.
The design and production process:
Involves a sequence of organised steps which provide a solution to design needs and opportunities
May take a few seconds or minutes, such as when you select what clothes to wear, or may take years as in the case with the design of a motor vehicle
May involve one person or may involve many people
May be simple or complex, depending on the task
Involves the designer questioning (or evaluating) throughout the process
Design Situation (Problem)
Design Situation (Problem)
Drones are fast becoming a staple in many industries due to their functional flexibility, cost effectiveness and increased legislation emphasising safety regulations. Learning through play is an effective means of of teaching young people as it increases engagement and participation. You and your team (2-4) have been selected to develop a training tool for the next generation of drone coding pilots.
Computational thinking skills and the ability to create effective code is essential for drone coding pilots to be effective and as designers it is your job to design solutions, produce code and evaluate the output of your code as you create an entertaining coding challenge for the Pilot Training Department at Drone Division HQ.

Criteria for Success
Criteria for Success
The digital obstacle course must require between 30-50 code lines/blocks to successfully complete.
The digital obstacle course must force players to create code features including a loop, a reiteration, coordinate navigation and motion.
The training tool must be entertaining and have an appealing name, a clear objective, a set of instructions and rules for completion
Your team must be able to complete the course before it is given to another team to complete and evaluate.
A criteria for success revolves around creating an impactful and effective designs that meet the desired objectives. A thorough understanding of the project requirements and target audience is crucial. This involves conducting research, analysing user needs, and defining clear design goals. Measuring the success of a design can involve metrics like usability testing and user feedback. Regular iteration and improvement based on these measurements helps to achieve success in design. Finally, successful design criteria encompass a balance between creativity and practicality, aligning with the project's overall objectives and client expectations.
In this unit, you are required to produce 4 criteria for success. You will be able to look back on these at the end of the unit and make a judgement on whether or not you have been successful.
