Introduction

Building on the concepts developed in ICT Project Sprint 1, this unit challenges you to bring your ideas to life through the development of a minimum viable product (MVP). Students will learn to design, build, and refine interactive prototypes using technology, software, or hybrid systems to demonstrate the feasibility of their solutions. The unit emphasises a hands-on, iterative process where prototypes are tested, refined, and improved based on feedback and verification against design goals.

Key topics include the prototyping process, iterative design, data security, design verification testing, and principles of sustainable design such as circular economy approaches. You will gain practical experience in debugging, troubleshooting, and refining your prototypes, while documenting and communicating the rationale behind your design and technical decisions.

Throughout the unit, you will work in a dynamic environment that replicates industry project workflows. You will develop problem-solving, collaboration, and technical communication skills while applying the engineering mindset needed to adapt to challenges during development.

By the end of the unit, you will have created a functional prototype that demonstrates the core functionality of your concept, supported by testing evidence and documentation.
