NEA Skills Packs for AQA AS and A Level: Product Design

Activities include quick draw challenges, guess the target market, user testing tasks, and point of sale design development!

Varied and visual worksheets logically cover the structure of a typical design-and-make project – research, design, development, testing and evaluation – so students become familiar with what is expected from AQA’s AS and A Level specifications. Original activities encourage creative design thinking, project planning, comprehensive research and analytical skills. Plus! Group tasks facilitate class collaboration, while extension tasks push the most able.
