[Year 12 SofDev] SAT... ...project ideas?

[Feain, Philip A]

Dear Mike

This is a question that quite a few teachers have asked on the training day last Monday.

I would encourage teachers to get students to think about where there is a need for a software solution to be developed, based on who they know or have access to. Pick a starting point and work outwards. Could there be a solution at school? Students may speak to teachers that are leaders in the school and are a faculty heads sharing numerous spreadsheets with several staff tracking results, etc. Different faculties do things with different data in different ways. PE tends to track times. Maths tracks marks. Just remember a student is completing an individual need. A teacher cannot give a task  out to a group of students. As the teacher you cannot be the client either. Could there be a solution near where the students live? In town? Might be good to have a brainstorming session in class.

Students will also have family members and friends with parents who run small businesses who may have a need for a software solution. They need to understand where and how they will satisfy the criteria for the SAT when choosing their need. Because they will produce context diagrams and DFDs, etc., they will need a few users that provide and receive data, have some processing and files.

Kind Regards

Phil.

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] SAT... ...project ideas?

Dear people, I am doing the new study design for the first time (no class last year).
Wondering if anyone can share the sort of projects the students found for the SAT?
Some of my class are a little nervous and concerned about finding a project and I am not allowed to task them myself.
Cheers
