The Design Process
The Design Process
How can we use the design process and hands-on exploration to solve problems and bring our creative ideas to life?
Critical Thinking: Students demonstrate the ability to think critically through each stage of the design process, from problem identification to solution refinement.
Collaboration: Students work together, leveraging diverse perspectives and skills to enhance the design process and outcomes.
Communication: Students clearly articulate their design process, solutions, and reflections, both verbally and through appropriate digital platforms.
Adaptive Perseverance: Students show resilience and adaptability, persisting through challenges and setbacks encountered during the design and creation process.
Creativity: Students engage their creativity to imagine innovative solutions and bring their ideas to fruition through the design process.
What are the key stages of the design process, and how do they contribute to problem-solving and innovation?
How can hands-on exploration help us better understand a problem and identify potential solutions?
In what ways can we apply the design process to a real-world challenge or project in our community or personal interests?
Students will articulate the stages of the design process and their importance in developing effective solutions.
Students will engage in a hands-on project, applying the design process to explore, prototype, and refine a creative solution to a chosen problem.
Students will reflect on their project experience, identifying successes, challenges, and how iterative improvement led to their final outcome.
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Students develop skills to identify problems, brainstorm solutions, evaluate alternatives, and implement and refine their ideas.
Creativity and Innovation: Students apply creativity and innovation to generate and refine solutions to complex problems or to complete a project.
Technology Integration: Students effectively use technology to research, design, prototype, and present solutions, demonstrating an understanding of the digital tools' role in the design process.
