Week 11 ยท Final Project: Build
Session 52: Project studio: subsystem check
Learning outcomes
- Demonstrate each subsystem working on its own
- Have the subsystem milestone signed
Kit and components
- Learners' project parts and bench kits
- Multimeters and oscilloscopes
- Final project briefs and milestone sheets

Next milestone: S55
Checkpoint: ready to move on?
Every learner has the subsystem milestone signed, or a recovery plan agreed.
Extension for fast finishers
Begin merging two proven subsystems.
Catch-up path
If a subsystem cannot be made to work, agree a reduced scope that still meets the minimum requirements.
Homework and practice
Fix outstanding subsystems.
Facilitator notes
- A reduced scope is better than an unfinished project - check the minimum scope is still met.
