The unit moves through the four MYP design criteria in order, with each criterion assessed by its own summative task. The lesson sequence shown on this page is a suggestion, not a hard requirement — adjust pacing to fit the class. Phase details will be completed when the G10 unit documents are available.
| Phase | Focus | Suggested Classes |
|---|---|---|
| Skills Training | Advanced fabrication, CAD & project management skills | TBD |
| Criterion A — Inquiring & Analysing | Research task | TBD |
| Criterion B — Developing Ideas | Planning: success criteria, inspiration, rough drafts, specifications | TBD |
| Criterion C — Creating the Solution | Producing the prototype, daily documentation, final deliverables | TBD |
| Criterion D — Evaluating | Testing, feedback, success criteria review, improvements | TBD |
| Final Revisions | Incorporate feedback and complete the design cycle | TBD |
Unit OverviewStudents follow the complete design cycle through an extended, independent product design project: identifying a genuine need and researching it in depth, planning with success criteria and specifications, designing and fabricating a solution, and critically evaluating the process and outcome in preparation for DP Design.
