The National Curriculum for Technology is new, it involves a new way of working and to some extent a re-arrangementof familiar knowledge, skills and processes. It seems clear that the major assessment focus will be through project work. In this article I want to show the importance of project work, and in particular electronics project work, by considering an existing scheme, the Leicestershire Modular Framework (LMF), that has many parallels with Design and Technology as laid out in the National Curriculum. I will indicate the kinds of activities that produced successful projects in terms of assessment and show how electronics based projects can be such a useful means of achieving evidence of Design and Technology capability.
