Whare Wars: Defining Design Needs
Year 11 Digital Technology Te Pō Stage - Exploring the Problem Space Collaborative Design Process
WALT - We Are Learning To
Identify and articulate user needs for our design project Critically analyse the Whare Wars Result to inform design decisions Collaborate effectively in small groups to consolidate design specifications Apply knowledge from Te Pō stage of the design process
Success Criteria
Work constructively in groups to discuss and record design needs Clearly identify at least 3 key user needs and 3 design requirements Justify choices using evidence from the Whare Wars Result Present group findings clearly to the class
What Makes a Good Design?
Think about the Whare Wars results What user needs were identified? How do we translate findings into design requirements?
Te Pō Stage: Exploring the Problem Space
{"left":"Understanding user context and environment\nIdentifying constraints and opportunities\nGathering evidence and insights","right":"Defining the problem clearly\nResearching existing solutions\nConsidering cultural and social factors"}
Group Activity: Needs Analysis
Form groups of 4-5 students Review Whare Wars results together Identify 3 key user needs Define 3 design requirements Prepare 2-minute presentation Use evidence to justify choices
Differentiation & Extension
Visual aids and sentence starters available Mixed-ability groups with assigned roles Multiple presentation formats welcome Extension: Create detailed design brief Advanced: Propose sustainable design solutions Support: Use graphic organizers and templates
Reflection & Next Steps
How will these needs guide your design? What challenges did you identify? How does this connect to the next design stage? What questions do you still have? Prepare for design brief development
