Think about these questions as you work your way through the lesson:

• What exactly did the brief ask for?
• How have I met the brief?
• Where could I improve this design?
• How do I know this idea will work?

It's time to evaluate what you have designed. It is important to evaluate the brief from the very first lesson. When designing with a brief, you should be checking in and remembering the brief as you design. This will ensure you are designing what you should be.

Here is the brief again:

Brief

To design and make a custom storage solution for something in the Technology Block. It must consider fitness for purpose in the broadest sense and be able to be used in 2021. You must make a set of technical drawings that you will construct your prototype from and use CNC technology where suitable for your solution.

Design Specifications

• Size: Suitable for selected resource and users - negotiated with the teacher
• Materials: Available within the school setting, but including mild and tensile steels, aluminum, plastics, and wood
• Construction techniques: A range of resistant materials and manufacturing processes are to be employed, including the use of CNC technology
• Environmental considerations: Must be considered and evident within testing and design decisions
• Human factors: Must be considered and evident within testing and design decisions

Your production specifications are to be developed through your research, design, and testing later on.

 Requirements

• The completed design must be detailed enough to be commercially manufactured
• All materials must be suitable for the completed design
• Health and Safety practices (including training) must be evident throughout the entire design and construction process
• Final outcomes and selected design work must be presented at the end of the year Technology exhibition
• Final outcomes must be usable and supported by evidence of testing in-site
• Storage solutions to be IN USE in 2021
