Final

Ready? Kua reri? - Completing the project
Today you need to complete the project.
You need to:

  • Complete making your diorama - get it reviewed.
  • Evaluate the final outcome against the design brief and attributes
  • Self reflect on your design process
  • Reflect on the overall course.






At this stage you should be nearing the completion of your diorama story model.

Take time to ask a peer to review your diorama. It’s your last chance to modify any parts of the model.

Discuss Kōrero Mai: What is an evaluation?

An evaluation is the reviewing of work to try and improve the final outcome being created.
In Technology, we use evaluation in different ways:
  • as part of the design process - during the researching, designing, stakeholder feedback, modelling, making, testing and trialing of an idea - the process you go through can be evaluated and the product as it is being developed.
  • for the final product - to check the final product fulfils the requirements of the need and design brief.

Once you have made your final prototype, you need to test and trial is to make sure it is working as you intended.

At this stage, it is useful to get the intended stakeholder to give you feedback on your final program:


  • What do they think about your product?
  • What works well? why?
  • Any areas that could be improved? why?



This will help you to complete a final evaluation.




As a designer/programmer, you need to check your final outcome too. Here are some suggested questions to help you:


  • How well does your final outcome work? why?
  • What was the need/design brief for this project? Does your outcome fulfil the brief? why?
  • What were the attributes needed for your outcome? Does the outcome fulfil all of the attributes or only some of them? how? why?
  • Is the product fit for purpose? why?
  • Can you think of any ways to improve the final product?

Hint: Use stakeholder feedback to help you to answer and review the evaluation questions.

You can use images, sketches, photo's, video, screenshots, and text to help you to evaluate your final outcome.




Design process reflection

Self reflection of a design process…


What have you learned? Think about the design process you have gone through to model your outcome…





How well did you do at each stage of the design process when creating your diorama?
