Youth Centre Design

You have been campaigning for a local Youth Centre and the government has finally awarded you £2 million to create a new space for children under the age of 18 to hang out. The local council has a unit on an industrial estate that they have designated for the centre. The £2 million is to fully kit out the space and get the club through it's first month of opening.

You will need to:

• Design the space - what will appeal to most children in the area?
• Research costs for your design
• Create a spreadsheet to track your budget
• Ensure that your budget balances at the end of the investigation (all £2 million must be spent or the government will take the difference back)
• Develop a secure entry system to ensure that only registered children are given access to the facilities

What should be on the spreadsheet?

• Income (£2m)
• Outgoings (everything you need to buy to finish the set up)
• Balance (Income - Outgoings)
• A pie chart to show distribution of funds

What will the secure entry system need to do?

• Store the usernames and passwords of at least 10 initial registered youths
• Display a welcome screen to the user upon entry to the facilities
• Display the rules of the youth centre that must be agreed before proceeding
• Ask for the username, check it's on the system
• Ask for the password, check it matches the one on the system
• Grant or deny access

Evidence Required for Assessment

• A finished budget spreadsheet printed landscape and fitted to 1 page
• The pie chart showing distribution of funds (the outgoings)
• An evaluation of your spreadsheet stating how effective you think it is
• A completed computational thinking problem solver for the entry system
• A print out of your code, with annotations

NOTE: Look carefully at the assessment criteria for this project to make sure that you demonstrate your skills in all areas.
