IB Design Technology 2027: Complete IA Guide

Everything students need to plan and complete the internal assessment design project for the new IB Design Technology syllabus (first assessment May 2027), written by a practising IB DT teacher. Two files: a 23-page student guide to print, and a 14-slide display deck for teaching the unit.

What’s inside the student guide:

A page for every one of the eleven strands: what it asks, how the mark bands move upwards, a full checklist of what should be on the page, and the mistake that costs marks in that strand
The complete marks, pages and words budget for all 33 marks, 35 pages and 3,500 words
Criterion overview pages with strand maps and planning space
Finding a genuine problem, with a worksheet for three candidate users
The non-negotiable rules and the ten most common ways students lose marks
An evidence log on every strand page and a full progress tracker
