Miami- Dade County Youth Fair - Division 21
Picture
Your are to design an exhibit piece to represent the French (francophone) culture and/or civilization which will be submitted on time for the Miami-Dade County Youth Fair.

Size and Weight Specifcations:
  • The maximum size for exhibits is 24” X 24”X 24”. The weight limit for any entry is 5 pounds.
  •  Entry Tag(s) must be securely attached to the entry
​​Acceptable Entries:
  • The theme for each exhibit must relate to the cultureand/or civilization of the language being studied.
  • Each exhibit MUST be accompanied by a brief written explanation of the exhibit in English and in the foreign language represented.
  • While some elements of the exhibit may be purchased, the exhibit as a whole must demonstrate the creativity of the
    exhibitor and CANNOT be constructed entirely of purchased items.
NOT ACCEPTABLE:
  • NO POSTERS ALLOWED.
  • ABSOLUTELY NO FOOD PRODUCTS CAN BE USED IN AN EXHIBIT.
  • Exhibits can not consist​ entirely of purchased items
  • Grading Rubric: See Design Criteria

  • Subject/Topic Due: January 12, 2018   NO EXCEPTIONS
  • Criterion A due Friday January 12, 2018
  • Exhibit Piece Due: February 22, 2018


​​Criterion A- Inquiring and analysing


Students are presented with a design situation, from which they identify a problem that needs to be solved. 
They analyse the need for a solution and conduct an inquiry into the nature of the problem.
In order to reach the aims of design, students should be able to:

​i. explain and justify the need for a solution to a problem for a specified client/target audience

ii. identify and prioritize the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the 
problem

iii. analyse a range of existing products that inspire a solution to the problem

​iv. develop a detailed design brief which summarizes the analysis of relevant research. ​

​Criterion B- Developing ideas


​Students write a detailed specification, which drives the development of a solution. They present the 
solution.
In order to reach the aims of design, students should be able to:
​
i. develop a design specification which clearly states the success criteria for the design of a solution

ii. develop a range of feasible design ideas which can be correctly interpreted by others

iii. present the final chosen design and justify its selection
​
iv. develop accurate and detailed planning drawings/diagrams and outline the requirements for the 
creation of the chosen solution. 


​Criterion C- Creating the solution​

Students plan the creation of the chosen solution and follow the plan to create a prototype sufficient for 
testing and evaluation.
In order to reach the aims of design, students should be able to:
i. construct a logical plan, which describes the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to 
be able to follow to create the solution
ii. demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
iii. follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended
iv. fully justify changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution
v. present the solution as a whole, either:

a. in electronic form, or
b. through photographs ofonic f he solution as a whole, either: the solution from different angles, showing details. 
​

Criterion  D- Evaluating

Students design tests to evaluate the solution, carry out those tests and objectively evaluate its success. 
Students identify areas where the solution could be improved and explain how their solution will impact on 
the client or target audience.
In order to reach the aims of design, students should be able to:
i. design detailed and relevant testing methods, which generate data, to measure the success of the 
solution
ii. critically evaluate the success of the solution against the design specification
iii. explain how the solution could be improved
iv. explain the impact of the solution on the client/target audience.
