Check out this link. It tells you everything to include in the NEA : https://www.dtteacher.org/a-level-nea. Definitely also google the mark scheme for AQA A level NEAs because reading that can really help. There are different sections A, B, C, D & E.

Hey! I’m a year 12 student currently studying Product Design Aqa and I’ve just started my NEA. I’m having a bit of trouble coming up with an idea
But I’d like to do something relatable to my future goal of studying dentistry, but I’m unsure what direction to take.
Should I design a project that focuses on developing skills like dexterity, which are useful in dentistry, or create a product that could be helpful in the dental field? As it could be useful to talk about in interviews or whatever or would it be more beneficial to make a product on things I may know more about??

Any advice or ideas would be really appreciated, as I’m currently a bit stuck, Thanks!
