Undertake development to make a prototype to address a brief
You need to design and build a working prototype (a finished, tested product) that solves a specific problem outlined in a brief. Your prototype should be made using real materials and techniques, and you'll test it to see if it actually works for the people and place it's meant for. This is about turning an idea into something physical that you can evaluate and improve.
You build a complete, working prototype using suitable materials and techniques, then test it and explain whether it meets the requirements in the brief.
You trial different materials and methods during development to improve your choices, building a refined prototype that works better than a basic version, and explain how testing informed your decisions.
You test your finished prototype in the actual environment where it will be used, gather feedback from the people who will use it, and use that evidence to make a strong judgement about whether it truly solves the problem in the brief.
