Students will choose a topic and work collaboratively in a small group to develop and present the project plan. The plan outlines the investigative approach for the project including the background context, problem statement, objectives, scope, and the tasks to be done. This includes a literature review to identify relevant theories, methodologies, and existing solutions.

This assessment comprises a 15-minute oral presentation followed by a 5-minute Q&A. This task assesses their ability to plan and set the groundwork for project execution (clarity in articulating the project objectives, resource management plan, and initial project timeline). The assessment will have a peer review component (moderated team evaluation). Feedback to students will be provided prior to census date.
