Whare Wars: Design Needs Uncovered

Whare Wars: Design Needs Uncovered

Identifying Design Needs & Requirements Year 11 Digital Technology Te Pō Stage - Exploring the Problem Space

WALT - We Are Learning To

Identify and articulate user needs for our design project Critically analyse Whare Wars results to inform design decisions Collaborate effectively to consolidate design specifications Apply Te Pō stage principles - exploring and defining problems

Te Pō - The Darkness Before Dawn

"In Te Pō, we explore the unknown, question assumptions, and define the true nature of our design challenge. Like seeds in dark soil, great designs begin in careful exploration."

Whare Wars Results Analysis

Group Formation & Role Assignment

Form groups of 4-5 students Assign roles: Scribe, Presenter, Researcher, Creative Director Collect your needs analysis worksheet Review Whare Wars data as a team

Identifying Design Needs vs Requirements

{"left":"NEEDS: What users want to achieve or problems they need solved\nSafety and security for families\nCultural connection and identity\nAffordable and sustainable living\nREQUIREMENTS: Specific features or constraints that must be met","right":"Weather resistance for NZ climate\nIntegration with smart home technology\nUse of sustainable materials\nCompliance with building codes"}

Collaborative Analysis Time

20 minutes group work Identify 3 key user needs from Whare Wars data Define 3 specific design requirements Use evidence to justify your choices Prepare a 2-minute presentation for the class

Success Criteria & Next Steps

Successfully identified user needs with evidence Defined measurable design requirements Collaborated effectively in groups Presented findings clearly to peers Next: Move into Te Ao (The World of Light) - developing solutions
