Cycle one. October, mid year
Strong grasp of the ideas, weaker at turning them into a plan. Build log started late and was thin.
Level 2. Developing
Cycle two. March, end of year
Two full iterations of the line-follower, with a measured improvement in lap time. Handled panel questions without notes.
Level 3. Proficient
Project evidence
Cycle one
Line-following robot with obstacle recovery
Built to the taught brief. Worked on a clean track, stalled when the tape was interrupted.
Cycle two
Line-follower version two, with a sensor confidence rule
Rewrote the decision logic to keep heading when the sensor reading goes uncertain. Lap time on the test track improved from 41 seconds to 27, measured over five runs.
Facilitator note
The change this year was in planning, not in ability. Once the build log became a habit, the work stopped being rebuilt from scratch every fortnight. Next year, push on Structure and Programming. The presentation is already the strongest part of the file.
Annual outcome
61
out of 100, both cycles averaged
Level 3. Proficient
Meets the year standard across all six parameters.
