Save your actual school result to count your credits.
In this standard, you'll design and build a working electronics project that combines hardware (circuits, components) and software (code). You need to get it functioning properly, test it to find and fix problems, and explain how it works and why you made the choices you did. This is about making something real that actually does what it's supposed to do.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Design and build a working combination of electronic hardware and software that follows a set of specifications
- ·Write and fix code so it actually works, testing it multiple times to find and solve problems
- ·Test your whole electronics system to check it works reliably and diagnose any faults
- ·Explain what each component and part of your system does and how they work together
- ·Discuss the real-world implications of your project (like safety, accessibility, how users will experience it, or environmental impact)
You've built a working electronics project, fixed the software and hardware when they don't work, tested it, and described what the components do and what implications matter.
You've built a working electronics project with code that is clear and well-commented, you've tested it thoroughly to make it reliable, you explain how the whole system behaves, and you discuss the relevant implications thoughtfully.
