Creating a Product Design / Industrial Design display board is a fantastic way to showcase all of the creative design steps and decisions that you have taken to 'realise' your final product. It tells a story about your product from the initial design brief through to final realised manufactured product and rendered images.
The layout is completely up to you but you should design it around A1 sizing or for a roll pop-up display.
You should design your final display board in either Adobe Illustrator; Adobe Photoshop or Procreate, or a combination of all three.

You need to consider the format of your display board and what works best for your product / design work.
You can choose from the following sizes:
594mm x 841mm (A1)
594 x 841 (A1) x2 - combining two boards vertically gives you more 'room' to display more of your work and greater detail
1600mm x 600mm (Roll Pop up banner) - the largest vertical display
You should notice from all of the examples that they have named the product. Give your product a name that helps to describe it and what it does or even create a company and give your product a name.
Think of companies that you know of and the name of their products: Sony 'Playstation', Sony 'Walkman', Dyson 'Airblade', Ford 'Ranger', Apple 'iMac'. Some companies instead give the product a code: Dyson 'dc15'; Braun 'mdv17c' etc.
Much of what you might wish to present may be created through setting up 'Virtual scenarios / scenes' to give your product context. You can use Onshape to set up additional objects to create your scene that can be rendered.
You can render your product and the scene using Shapr3D, Cadmio (on the school iPads) or Keyshot (this is a licensed software so would cost) or you could even use an AI softwatre such as Dreamstudio, Newarc, or Hypersketch (there are others). You can add your scene / images to these AI modeling software and along with prompts you can then render to match the prompt.
