Design Cycle
The MYP design cycle is a system that will help you complete projects by following a step-by-step process. This process contains the following steps: INQUIRING AND ANALYZING, DEVELOPING AN IDEA, CREATE THE SOLUTION, and EVALUATING.
Inquiring and Analyzing: You should be able to describe the problem and its importance. Identify the steps needed for a solution and an existing product to help guide your research and analysis of the problem. Be able to explain how you are going to solve the problem.
Developing Ideas: Develop a list of criteria so you know your solution will be a success. Design a variety of solutions to your problem and justify your final design. Create a planning drawing detailing what is needed for creation.
Creating the Solution: Outline a plan; including time and resources. Create your solution or project while following your timeline. Your process should be documented in your journal and any changes to the final creation should be justified.
Evaluating: Outline how successful your solution was, including necessary data. Discuss the success of your project based on the data. Observations on how your creations could be improved should also be included. Finally, a thoughtful response about how your product can impact others and/or the environment is needed.
