Air Buggy
The Design Process Model
1. Brief
I can review and further
develop my design brief
I understand works and
what does not work in the
design of an Air Buggy
I understand what I should
adopt and avoid in my
design.
3. Prototype
I can engage in 3 levels of
prototype design
- Level 1 (dimensions, form,
function and performance)
- Level 2 (materials,
components)
- Level 3 (Assembly)
I can develop a prototype of
my design
I can test my prototype
I can make improvements

The Assessment Criteria
2. Ideate
I can brainstorm many ideas
that will satisfy my design brief
I can evaluate these based on
my brief
I can select 2–3 for further
development and investigation
I can improve my designs
through feedback from experts
and my audience
4. Produce
I can review my design one last
time to:
- simplify (easier to use)
- reduce or eliminate (lighter)
- replace non eco-friendly
materials
I can produce my solution
according to my final plan
I can evaluate the process and
set goals
I can make the final design
I reviewed and further developed my design brief
- I read my design brief
- I outlined areas of confusion
- I identified any missing information
- I generated questions -
- I sought the answers / clarification that was
needed
I generated ideas that would meet my design brief
- I evaluated each of my ideas
- I chose three ideas to further develop and
investigate
- I sought feedback from experts and my audience
- I reworked my design to improve it
I developed a prototype / draft of my design
- I engaged in three levels of prototype design
- Level 1: dimensions, form, function and
performance
- Level 2: materials
- Level 3: assembly
- I developed a prototype
- I tested my prototype
- I made improvements as required
I produced a final product
- I reviewed my design one last time to:
- simplify (easier to use)
- reduce or eliminate (lighter)
- replace non eco-friendly materials
- I created my product according to my final design
- I evaluated the process
- I celebrated
