Over these two weeks we have moved on from the ‘Investigation and Evaluation’ to the ‘Technical Knowledge and Design’ of our units on Mechanical Structures. We have looked at who we are making our designs for and how we might use mechanical structures. We have been able to design, using a success criteria and make prototypes to test and evalauate.
