Formulate a Design Specification

Year 9  - Welcome to Term 3. Hope you had a good break and are ready to get start coding!

The IBO says that the design specification is "A detailed description of the conditions, requirements and restrictions with which a design must comply. This is a precise and accurate list of facts such as conditions, dimensions, materials, process and methods that are important for the designer and for the user. All appropriate solutions will need to comply with the design specification."
