Hard+Tech+SUMMATIVES

include component="page" page="menu-summative" editable="1" include component="page" page="Summative_Objective" editable="1" =TIJ1O HARD TECH SUMMATIVE FORMAT= Students are responsible for producing TWO components
 * 1) Website Portfolios showing their ability to conduct Research, Planning and Reflection
 * 2) Physical Product - the "piece" that is manufactured in our workshops

There are FOUR main components for the summative project representing the four quadrants of the Design Process. Each component can be marked independently of the others. Students will have a limited number of classes to produce each phase of the Design Process: > This is where you investigate the "state of the art" for your particular project, and how it could feasibly be created in our workshops > Specific elements you should include: >> >>> > The physical product will be graded according to the following rubric: > include component="page" page="Project Rubric" editable="1" > Your website should include photos of your project. In addition to presenting the FINISHED PRODUCT, consider including: >> > Once you've completed your project, you need to reflect on what you accomplished, and what you learned.
 * 1) **RESEARCH**
 * The origins and purpose of this piece, and its requirements or functions
 * At least 3 Images of solutions or variations of the project
 * Brainstorming of feasible solutions
 * SPECIFICATIONS:
 * Specific measurements
 * Materials required, and they're availability and cost if appropriate
 * Links to further information
 * 1) **PLANNING**
 * **Proposed Sketches or Ideas**
 * Create simple sketches or lists of about three different feasible solutions, demonstrating the rules you established in your resesarch
 * How do your ideas satisfy the the requirements presented in your research?
 * Evaluate **the Viability** of solutions (e.g., by testing, modelling, and documenting results) and choose the best one
 * **Prepared Plans (Sketchup or AutoCad)**
 * Follow the prescribed format to clearly present your BEST solution
 * Establish precise dimensions and features for your intended product
 * **A [|Procedure List]**
 * List the production steps in the correct order
 * 1) **PRODUCT**
 * 1) Production photos, showing the steps and tools used
 * 2) Video clips of procedures - shot on our class camera and uploaded to Vimeo or Schooltube
 * 1) **REFLECTIONS**
 * 1) Your SUCCESSES - what you think you did particularly well in this project; What were the parts or aspects of your project you were most proud of? Where did you get your ideas from?
 * 2) Your PROBLEMS - what proved to be the biggest challenges you encountered in making your production? How did you overcome or solve them?
 * 3) What you would DO DIFFERENTLY if you repeated the project to improve the process
 * 4) What ADVICE you would give someone that is about to start the same project; What would you do differently if you had to do it again? W hat steps were most important to the success of the project?

**TIJ1O Project OPTIONS**
 * 1) Redesign and Rebuild
 * 2) An old project that was sub-competent
 * 3) Begin RIGHT from scratch, to prove you KNOW how to do it right this time!
 * 4) Enhance an existing project
 * 5) ie. a Yo-Yo could become a TOP, a Picture Frame becomes a PhotoBook
 * 6) Create a NEW project based on existing skills
 * 7) A Treasure Box
 * 8) A Tool Caddy
 * 9) A Key rack: must include at least 4 spaces for different keys, must include some joint (i.e. not a single peice of wood with some dowels stuck in it)
 * 10) A project of your choice, but it MUST suit your skill level, be feasible using our equipment and materials, and be approved by the instructor.
