G8 Tech Class #15

Today, following our G8 Due Dates webpage we are going to be working on Evaluate stage and racing your cars!!!! All the data you can gather from testing and racing your cars will be useful for your Evaluate stage!

At the end of Project 1, you should be able to:

Evaluate the product you created: Rubber Band Powered Car

• carry out tests to see if the Car met the design specifications
• reflect on the success (and/or failure) of the Car in an objective manner based on testing
• reflect on the impact of building the Car on you and on society (look beyond yourselves and this class.....)
• explain how the Car could be improved.

Evaluate your use of the Design Cycle: 

• reflect on your performance at each stage of the design cycle (reflect about strengths and weaknesses/areas of improvements of each stage)
• compare your planned timeline with the actual use of time
• explain the changes you made (if any) 
• identify the parts that you found difficult and suggest ways in which your work during Project 1 could be improved. 

To submit your Evaluate stage today, please make sure you follow the Steps to submit your assignments posted in the MYP Technology website.
You can always use the Design Folder Checklist to make sure your Evaluate stage is complete.
