Design and Modeling is our first unit. It is designed to teach students the design process and the impact of creativity and innovations in their lives. Students start with learning the importance of planning and working collaboratively on projects. As the unit unfolds, they learn about isometric drawings, building to scale, and 3D design.
Students will be designing a foot brace out of common household materials. They are to plan, create a prototype, and be ready to present their idea.
From there, they will learn about creating a design matrix to develop several iterations before producing a prototype.
