Students are expected to be able to do the following:

​

Applied Design

Understanding context

• Engage in a period of research and empathetic observation

Defining

• Identify potential users, societal impacts, and other relevant contextual factors for a chosen design opportunity

• Identify criteria for success, intended impact, and any constraints or possible unintended impacts

Ideating

• Take creative risks in generating ideas and add to others’ ideas in ways that enhance them

• Screen ideas against criteria and constraints

• Collaborate on idea generation and maintain an open mind about potentially viable ideas

Prototyping

• Identify and use sources of inspiration and information

• Choose a form for prototyping and develop a plan that includes key stages and resources

• Prototype, making changes to tools, designs, and procedures as needed

• Record iterations of prototyping

Testing

• Identify sources of feedback

• Develop an appropriate test of the prototype

• Conduct the test, collect and compile data, evaluate data, and decide on changes

• Iterate the prototype or abandon the design idea

Making

• Identify and use appropriate tools, technologies, and processes for production

• Make a step-by-step plan for production and carry it out, making changes as needed

Sharing

• Decide on how and with whom to share  product and processes

• Demonstrate the product to potential users, providing a rationale for selected solution, modifications, and procedures, using appropriate terminology

• Critically reflect on design thinking and processes, and identify new design goals

• Assess ability to work effectively both as individuals and collaboratively in a group, including ability to share and maintain an efficient cooperative work space

Applied Skills

Demonstrate an awareness of precautionary and emergency safety procedures in both physical and digital environments

Identify the skills needed in relation to specific projects, and develop and refine them

Applied Technologies

Choose, adapt, and if necessary learn more about appropriate tools and technologies to use for tasks
