we have a spreadsheet of every task for each person and u can see if ur tasks are red-ur staying back orange-like 1-2 marks off and green-ur at a really good mark for it and our class isnt that bad apart from a few people but the other class our teacher has, wow the woman was too stunned to speak theres so many reds but im lowk scares of falling behind and having loads to catch up on 😓😓

hey I do DT as well, but I do edexcel not aqa but I hope this helps:
you could create a dino puzzle set made out of cardboard or smthn(?) or if not that I'd say a board game where they discover prehistoric sites/forests or something based on that. Board game is something many people consider doing tho...
If not that, how about a dig excavation thing for dinosaurs? Like they dig out a dino (ig) from a toy rock (prob made out of clay or something else) and then they need to assemble the bones together correctly to form the dino, and it has multiple packs of different dinos which they need to assemble together(?). This could be 3D printed (if u have a 3D printer at school or at home)
If you're stuck on ideas, look something up the market that exists already. it might help :smile:

Hi, I’m doing alevel dt now and I think the thing that people forget is that you don’t have to invent something. You can just take any product and try and make it more ergonomic and better! I’d recommend searching at existing toys online (Pinterest is great) and seeing how you could adapt them to work better for your client. Making a mood board like this definitely helps and I got all my ideas for gcse and alevel after finding something that looks cool or I like and changing it slightly!
