In this task, you will have the opportunity to add value to an existing item by upcycling it in the creation of a purposeful outcome. A purposeful outcome has to meet a need or opportunity identified for a person, whānau, or community.
Upcycling is the process of extending the life of a material or item that may otherwise be sent to a landfill. It’s about using it to create something else — something better. It’s a way of taking care of the Earth by reusing materials instead of throwing them away.
First you will experiment with different materials to explore their properties. You will include at least one material that can be upcycled.
- Through this experimentation, you might discover new ways of using the materials based on their properties. This is an opportunity to explore the concept of auahatanga.
- It is important that you record what you learn.
- You will then identify a possible need or opportunity for a person, whānau, or your community.
- A need is something that is wanted or required.
- The exploration of a need helps you to identify a potential opportunity.
- Following this, you will be able to make decisions about which of the materials to use, based on their properties, in the development and creation of a purposeful outcome.
As you experiment with the materials, you will include stakeholder feedback from more than one person at more than one stage of development.
You will use this stakeholder feedback to investigate the materials’ properties. This will help you to refine the use of materials in the creation of your outcome.
You will analyse the materials’ properties and justify your selection of materials used to create the outcome.
Following the creation of the purposeful outcome, you need to explain how experimenting with different materials and learning about their properties has informed its development and creation.
You will also need to evaluate whether the final outcome successfully addresses the need or opportunity of the person, whānau, or community.
What resources can I use?
- You will be provided with a variety of materials, tools, and equipment by your teacher.
- You may wish to bring resources from home to support your learning, but this is not a necessity.

How to present your learning
You should present your work with a selection of evidence from your portfolio that covers the requirements of the Achievement Standard. Choose one of the following options:
- a digital slide presentation (no more than 20 slides at size 12 font or bigger)
- a collection of scanned paper evidence (no more than 10 A3 sides of paper)
- a video or recorded oral presentation (3-4 minutes long)
- a combination of the above, totalling no more than the equivalent of 750-800 words.
Your presentation must include at least one image of the outcome you create. (Your teacher will sight the outcome and return it as soon as possible, and an image of it may be sent to NZQA.)
If you would like to present your work in a way different to the above options, discuss this with your teacher.

Getting started
Your teacher will help you to identify a need or opportunity in relation to a person, whānau, or your community.
Here are some questions to think about before you get started:
- Do you, your whānau, or your community have a need or opportunity that could be addressed through the development and creation of an upcycled item?
- Do you, your whānau, or your community have a treasured item or items that are broken or no longer used which could be upcycled to give them a new lease of life?
- Do you, your whānau, or your community use items that frequently end up in the landfill? And can these items be upcycled to avoid this happening?
