2021 AQA Product design NEA Section A

Worried about what to teach Product Design students? finding it hard to get started and follow the NEA structure at the beginning? This is the perfect resource to get them carrying on and enthused with a high quality power point, with relevant visuals and animations, as well as questions, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section A and really having a much better idea of how to carry on!

This is tried, tested and the students had a very positive and studious response.
Learning outcomes:

In this Section A, NEA coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of:
• The importance of a good rationale, a contextual challenge and design problems and opportunities, as well as designing with a client in mind
• The importance of investigating using primary, secondary and client research, with extra information on client interviews and discussion of anthropometric, ergonomic and site specific research
• Inspiration: Time to start doing designs – initial concepts. CAD can also be used.
• Consider ongoing research throughout folder that will help an iterative design approach.

Potential learning outcomes:
