The marking scheme is in a different document. This project-based assessment, a practical component of the KJSEA Prediction Series, challenges learners to apply their skills in an entrepreneurial context.

  The paper outlines a single comprehensive project that is structured into 3 main tasks. The entire project is marked out of a total of 40 marks and is designed to be completed by learners over a duration of 1 week.

  The core of the assessment is for the learner to design, create, and document a simple, functional product for sale. The project assesses a blend of skills across three integrated areas:

  • Computer Studies: This is the largest task, focusing on digital literacy for project execution. It includes skills such as choosing software for reports, practicing online safety during research, managing project data, understanding hardware components, basic networking for collaboration, and using visual programming tools like Scratch for presentation.
  • Technical Studies: This task evaluates practical design and prototyping abilities. Learners must produce a 3D freehand sketch of their product, list the tools and materials needed, and justify their material choice based on physical properties, while also outlining relevant safety measures.
  • Business Studies: This section assesses fundamental entrepreneurial skills. Learners are required to identify economic resources, reflect on entrepreneurial qualities, define a target market, propose a product price, and explain the critical role of a budget in their project.
