Project Checklist
Welcome to the Expo Project Checklist page for students, teachers and parents. This page will guide you through the 5 stages of the Design Thinking Process for your Innovation Expo challenge journey. The dates mentioned at each stage are a guide to keep you on track.
Find out more about our challenges or submitting by clicking below.
A large part of this process is to reflect on what you have learned, as well as how you have developed as a learner. To help you record your thoughts we have created a Reflection Journal, which you can use to record your journey as you complete each stage of the design thinking process.
