Grade A01 Identify, investigate and outline design possibilities to address needs and wants A02 Design and make prototypes that are fit for purpose A03 Analyse and evaluate: design decisions and outcomes, including for prototypes made by themselves and others wider issues in design and technology A04 Demonstrate and apply knowledge and understanding of: technical principles designing and making principles Grade 9 I identify and explore my own innovative design problems working confidently within a range of domestic, local and industrial contexts, such as the home, health, leisure, culture, engineering, manufacturing, construction, energy and agriculture. I can carry out analysis and resolve design conflict. I manage compromise resolving criteria clashes whilst retaining focus. Effectively, I specify needs, requirements, opportunities Creatively, innovatively and coherently I can respond to the specification, additionally using CAD and related software packages to validate my designs in advance of manufacture and mathematical modeling to indicate likely performance before using physical materials and components, for instance when developing circuits or gearing systems. I can take creative risks and decide which design criteria clash and which should take priority. My testing is fully recorded and dynamically I carry out on-going analysis, testing, evaluation and refinement against myr specification, fully considering and engaging users results in excellent progression of future design developments and final prototype/s. I am thorough when reporting on further modifications required to improve performance, including in relation to life cycle analysis, consumption, positive and negative impacts on the wider world, new and emerging technologies and the concept of, ‘cradle to grave’ and the circular economy. I can produce thorough technical information, using digital applications where appropriate, offering effective information for another user. Additionally I can undertake and apply detailed risks assessments. I can work independently, flexibly and accurately making multiple justified modifications. I fully exploit CAD/CAM and swiftly develop new skills as required, my work is demanding and complex resulting in a final prototype(s) that fully responds to user requirements and has good market potential.
