** FINDING/PLANNING ** Research the topic - What do I need to know? What already exists? Shelves How does it work? What rules do I need to follow? Plan – what resources do I need? When must I do each part by? ** USING ** Brainstorm possible solutions use sketches, models, paper Can you modify something that exists, can you adapt something ** RECORDING ** Draw up your best ideas in detail, write down what is good and not good about each design. Which one will best meet the criteria. Decide on best design. ** PRESENTING ** Make your best design (or a prototype), try it out. ** EVALUATING ** How did it all go? Does your design meet the criteria? Will it work?
