Targets from Level 3 My target is to …
3a) 3b) 3c) 3d) 3e) 3f) 3g) 3h) 3i) 3j) use my experience, and things I know about products to help me design. list things my design needs to do in a specification. write a realistic plan for making. explain my ideas clearly and in detail. annotate my design to explain details. use sketches and models to show my ideas. think ahead about how to make my design and in what order. choose what tools/materials/techniques to use and use them with some accuracy (to 2mm). cut, shape and put things together when making. evaluate my design, and how well I worked, to say what I changed and improved as I went along.
