Use the following for guidance in creating your Pocket Puzzle documentation:

Statement of Problem

"Children often get bored on long car journeys and don't like looking out of the window. There is a need to create a toy for children that will keep them engaged on trips."

Design Brief

"There is a need for a steady hand game, suitable for children aged under 12 years old. It should be packaged for sale at convenience stores, garages or supermarkets."

Middle School students: We should be nearing the end of our projects soon (Pocket Puzzle, Steadyography, Flying Toy). You will need to make sure that your written documentation is complete and in your design folders by no later than Friday, November 24th. This will include:

• Statement of problem


• Design brief


• Brainstorm (spider-diagram)


• Specification list


• etc...

Please see your project lists (supplied by us and in the front of your technology folder) for a more comprehensive list. All of your documentation (with the exception of your sketches) will need to be typed up (without colours and Word Art!) in Microsoft Word and saved as "project_name"_documentation.doc (like pocket_puzzle_documentation.doc).

A detailed list of the documentation requirements is available here.

Things to remember:
- Look at existing products on the market (toys on amazon.com)
- Make a list of product and packaging features that you like/dislike about what you have found. Save pictures from what you have found on the web
- Start a list of what should be on your packaging (warning notices, instructions, prices, etc) in a Word file called 'Product Specification'
- Think about ways (and list them in your document) of how you could potentially market your product (website, posters)
