= = =__**Schedule and basic information.**__=

CAS week runs from October 10th to 14th 2011. During this week Year 13 will be doing two things:


 * Higher Education preparation.
 * The Group 4 Project.

You will spend about 2 days on each and Friday morning presenting your projects (exposition), recycling your materials, posting your work onto this Wiki space, writing a question for next year and finally, tidying up and enjoying the celebration event on Friday afternoon.

The group 4 project should take around 10 hours to complete and is divided into three stages: **Planning, Action** and **Evaluation** plus an **Exposition.**


 * **Planning:** About 2 hours. You will meet with your team to discuss the central topic, share ideas and information and plan the Action phase.
 * **Action:** About 6 hours. This is when you conduct your investigation, carry out your laboratory, workshop or fieldwork and finalise the results.
 * **Evaluation**: About 2 hours. You will present your findings and summary of your project as a PowerPoint show.
 * **Exposition:** Once you have completed your work, you will make a presentation to an audience of other teams, staff members and members of the wider College community. Prizes may be awarded for the best projects and expositions.

 * Notes about the presentations**:
 * //You will be allocated rooms for your presentation before Friday morning.//
 * //Each person in the group must present part of the exposition (1min 30 > 2 min)//
 * //Never read off the screen ... or read out what is on the screen.//
 * //Images on screen say much more than text when you talk about/explain them//

10:30 Presentations end, Group 4 project complete. 10:30 - 10:55 Break. 11:00 - 11:20 Formal assembly and closing remarks by Staff. Possible awards. 11:30 - 15:30 Off to the beach!

All teams must ensure they have submitted a copy of their Powerpoint presentation which clearly contains a developmental question for next year's project.
 * NOTE: Your presentation MUST contain the 'Flagship 4 Sustainability' logo which you can get here: **



All teams must report to their supervisor to check that rooms, equipment, etc., are tidied away at 3:20. You may then work on HE applications, other College work, and enjoy the CAS week concert. You may not leave the campus until 3:20.

Please note:
 * **Your exposition must be entirely ICT based** (PowerPoint). Your results/data/conclusions must be posted on this Wikispace and available for next year's group to interrogate.
 * ** Your presentation __MUST contain the 'Flagship4Sustainabiliy' logo on every slide.__ See above. **
 * **You** **MUST write a question for next year's project** that builds upon the work you have done with your team. This question must be posted on the Wiki space along with your presentation, data, report, etc.
 * Your Group 4 project MUST demonstrate **appropriate use of ICT** at all phases of the project.
 * You must demonstrate an appreciation of the **moral, ethical, social and environmental impact of your work.**

You will be expected to be selective in your use of time, materials and resources. In other words; teams that consider the sustainability of their projects, or who attempt to use renewable materials and energy sources, will address these aims much more successfully.

=**Advice:**=


 * Choose your question early and organise your team early.
 * Make contact with the link person for your Group 4 Project question if there is one. If there is no link person, talk to Mr. Ford who will try to find a suitable link person. Talk to them so that you understand the nature of the question properly.
 * Make sure you are prepared for the project before it starts on October 11th.
 * Make sure that each team member has a clearly defined role and that everyone is making a positive contribution to the project.
 * Keep your project highly focused.
 * Make sure your findings and proposals consider the moral, ethical, social and environmental impact of your work.
 * Allow plenty of time for conducting experiments and manufacturing prototype products.
 * Be creative and original in your approach to the task.
 * Enjoy it!
