Content
Your plan should clear enough to be followed by someone else. Your plan should be realistic. Your plan should be detailed enough so it is very clear how your product will be developed. At a higher level, plans often include when a task will be completed. For example you might know a certain task will take 1.5 hours, but when exactly would you do this work? With this information, you can make very well designed plans. This time works very well when you have multiple members.

Statement of Inquiry
The big idea for today is Design: Creating the Solution.
The essential questions for this topic are:

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
