I have to think of a product to make for my technology and design coursework (A- level)!
I thought you guys could help me think of a product to make!
It can be a brand new product or a product which i can improve! It has to be associated with household goods!
So if you have any ideas, get posting!

lol, well its achually quite simple, basically all you need is some mdf, motors, programable computer chips, a bit of metal plate, a vacume forming machine. the list goes on, but if you like I can take some pictures of my folder work etc?

Making the actual thing is only worth 5 marks at AS, folder work is 75. So make sure ur folder is spot on, for A2 right now im doing a childs disposable camera, sooooo much stuff to research/ideas to develop etc. there no reason why u can get an A*, im expecting to! I just started the project, so if u want mate ill give you some tips all the way through.

you cant get a A* mate, the highest you can get is a A at as/a2 level lol

The product i have to make does not have to have any electronics in it! it just has to be the product itself! It also has to be a tool! anyone got any ideas?

A hammer
Seriously though, what sort of requirements does it have. A household product can be anything from a can of detergent to a piece of furniture.

Lol i know, i didn't mean literally an A* I was trying to emphasize the point that theres no reason why you can't get VERY good marks if you choose the right sort of product where theres lots of work you can do on it.
Also you don't actually have to have a WORKING camera, just a model made from a range of materials...wood, plastic, metal etc. I'll post a few pics later of my AS folder, where i designed a desktop lamp. I also Made a working model lamp which is quite good actually
