Test lessons

Testing involves implementing your plan on a smaller scale or in a controlled environment to see how well your product or solution performs. This step helps you gather feedback and identify any necessary adjustments.

When you test, you determine the desirability, viability, and feasibility of your ideas/solutions.

iCreate surveys

iCreate surveys lesson plan (862.4 KB) learn the art of developing survey questions that are purposeful, structured, and form part of a formal data collection process.

NOTE: In the iEntrepreneur Explore stage, 'iAsk the right questions' explores the art of questioning. The key difference between curiosity-driven questions, that tend to be exploratory and personal, driven by a desire for knowledge, and survey questions, lies in the context, formality, and methodology of asking questions.

In this lesson, students will:

  • design sample tests to collect data
  • design and produce their own test in the form of a survey
  • demonstrate that testing is required to improve and enhance their prototype.
