Make a copy for your group and highlight the areas as you work through your impact project.
DISCOVER
1. Setting the Scene (Outcome development & evaluation)
What is the problem/need/ or opportunity I have identified? Who are the stakeholders?
e.g. We need furniture that suits the learning that we are doing. The Marama Year 7 & 8 Students are the stakeholders, we need it.
Currently farmers use a flimsy cardboard box to hold their medicines. This can break apart easily which can break the fragile medicine containers if dropped. The farmers also write the notes on the cardboard flap which can et smudged if wet.
Dairy farmers are our stakeholders because there is nothing available for them at the moment to solve this problem.
How will your design impact on these stakeholders ( people, our community or the environment?)
It will allow farmers to transport their medicine around the cow shed to give to their cows. It will be easier to record their medicine notes. Medicine containers will be less likely to break. It will be washable so the farmer can wash ff all the muck.
What do you need to find out before you can start planning? (Technological Practice)
Interview famers and a vet.
2. Survey the Stakeholders or consumers
Before you design or make a product, you need to research what sort of design people want. By conducting a survey of the stakeholders ( people who would use the product), you can discover what they like and ensure they will be happy with the finished product.
Prepare the questions and write them below - Use Google Forms as a tool. Embed the form summary below. Undertake the survey.
3. Your Materials/Resources/Toolbox

4. Design (Outcome Development and Evaluation)
Plan and design your product/idea: (Don’t forget to show ALL details and ideas, including, pictures, magazines, photos, images, measurements and to scale drawings, functional models)
- Teacher Check
Planning: Key Stages: (Planning for practice)
Create a flow chart or drawing in docs of the key stages you need to complete your impact project and produce your product. Other tools you could use are mindmeister.com, connected mind, or any other planning tool of your choice that will outline the logical steps you will take.
Timeframe:
Keep a record of both what you intend to do and what you did over the course of the next 4 weeks as we work through the Technology Process. You will have at least 2 sessions per week.

5. Building your Design:
Use your planning to construct your design. Manage your time effectively. Regularly write on your blog about ongoing progress.
- Teacher Check
- Does it work?
- Is the outcome what you imagined it would be?
- What would you change if you were to do it again?
- Does it meet the attributes that you wanted it to have?
- What have you learnt along the way?
- What do your stakeholders think about the outcome? Get feedback from them.
- Keep digital footage of your ongoing progress, and upload to your blog (weekly at the least)

Today for Impact the Medican organizing box group went down to the metal class in Hauraki plains college and tried to finish our box .This photo is my box i had made in Metal but i haven't finished it ,But hopefully I would finish it next week .
Does it work ?
Yes it works ,it fits all the compartments and spays,hopefully when make our own one we will make it like this photo here .In wood before we made a handle .
What Have You learnt along the way ?
I have learnt how to use all the machines and how to do some measurements for our box, Mr Chives or teacher help me on the way so that made me confident for every machine so that helped me .
This is the photo of my box and handle
_________________________________________________________________________________
This is me and my partner's new cardboard mock up we did again .We made another one because we thought our other one was two small so we made another ,then we took it down to the college and showed it to our teacher for tech but he didn't comment .This is the outside of the box we started .
Then we finished off doing the inside ,have a look inside.
- What I did today ?
We started off making our net's for our Medicine Organizing box as our group calls it the M.O.B , then we had to show Mr chives our net so that he could cut out some steel and aluminum ,me and Gabby were the second pairs to finish our net but Vorn,Jacob and Hayden was the first people to get there net finished and got there base cut out .
What I need to work on ?
I need to work on knowing what to do
when I get told to do it .
Does it work ?
Yes it does work because it has got good hard material and it does have good grip .We Finally started our real box that we have planned all this term for the piri s .Our teacher Mr chives helped us but we did all of it the most .then we cut it out and put ribits in it to hold it all together then planed our compartments and showed it tor Mr chives but we never got it cut out .This is our box we had planned with our mock up .
Today me and gabby my partner for this years impact is having a great year so far we finally got our comapartments in our box so next week we will be planning our handle hopefully .Today we went down to the college and cutted more compartments out we had some problems though ,because we had copied somone elses idea and not used our so we cut the compartment made it into our compartments .
Today I am hoping to finish all the compartments ,and start to plan our handle's ,I am hoping to get them finished so that we are doing our handles .
Today we did our compartments and finished them all ,we then started to plan out our handle to see what it would like ,then we went to wood work but we didn't get to start it .
Wow! You are really into your impact
