Design Process (Defined) Review

Define what ASK means for the Design Process?

• Fully restate the problem and define the criteria for a solution.

• Use prior experience and the stated criteria to guide a complete design, and create a written plan that includes a diagram and a supplies list.

Answer explanation

ASK is the first step of the Design Process. During this step, you make sure to completely understand what the challenge is that you need to complete.

What does RESEACH do for the Design Process?

• Inquire about other solutions already used to solve the problem and investigate their strengths and weaknesses.

• Test and evaluate the prototype using the established criteria. Make notes of any problems or possible improvements.

Answer explanation

This step is often skipped or combined with another step.

When you IMAGINE, what do you really do for the Design Process?

• Fully restate the problem and define the criteria for a solution.

• Consider the strengths and weaknesses of more than one idea before creating a plan.

Answer explanation

We pop all of the ideas we have onto paper like bubbles, this way we can consider all options to solve our challenge.

When you PLAN, what happens?

• Consider the strengths and weaknesses of more than one idea before creating a plan.

• Use prior experience and the stated criteria to guide a complete design, and create a written plan that includes a diagram and a supplies list.

Answer explanation

You will develop this one idea into you blueprint. It should be details so anyone could follow them.

When you CREATE, what are you doing?

• Use the plan as a blueprint to create a prototype or model. Choose appropriate tools, follow established safety guidelines, and adapt the plan as necessary.

• Make changes to improve the prototype within a given time and material constraints. Brainstorm ideas for further improvement.

Answer explanation

This is what we do during our build weeks. You build your creation.

You use two steps do you use together as a cycle?

• IMPROVE

• ASK

• PLAN

• TEST

Answer explanation

In or cycle, we test to see if our build works, and then make improvements on it. Then you test it again, and make more improvements.

What does TEST help us do in the DESIGN Process?

• Inquire about other solutions already used to solve the problem and investigate their strengths and weaknesses.

• Test and evaluate the prototype using the established criteria. Make notes of any problems or possible improvements.

Answer explanation

Testing is important to the design process, to ensure that the design works. It helps to make it better and better.

When you IMPROVE a design, what are you doing?

• Make changes to improve the prototype within a given time and material constraints. Brainstorm ideas for further improvement.

• Fully restate the problem and define the criteria for a solution.

Answer explanation

This step is where you fix mistakes, like debugging in coding. Sometimes this takes more than one try.
