OMGG they are difficult options i have no idea what to choose!? When we select one can we make anything like about it say for example the net zero one something to do with a firealarm could it be that random?? im quite confused on the exam course work works as our teacher didnt explain it properly at all we just got told the marks for each bit designing,making ect

There does need to be a link between your idea and the contextual challenge chosen.
For example;
Net zero fire alarm - Acceptable
Fire alarm that is closer to net zero - Acceptable
Fire alarm that unicorns and daisys - NOT acceptable

In saying this the contextual challenges are intentionally broad, allowing you to morph an idea that interests you.
These are some interesting contextual challenges!

My advice is to download the Eduqas DT specification, go to the section regarding the NEA*near the bottom, and look at the different mark bands. You can interpret the mark scheme as you like and make your own structure, but your teachers should'vd provided some structures. Eg. ACCESSFM
