During orientation, you will be given options based on your Level of Design experience. For example, If you are in Grade 8, with no Design experience, you will go through all of our orientation projects to familiarize yourself with the skills needed to move on to Level 2 Design.

In Level 1 Design you will encounter challenges that will build your skills and conceptual understanding using the MYP Design Cycle.
These projects will ease you into the Design Thinking mindset through designing products for a familiar target audience.
In Level 2 Design you will learn more difficult skills and gain deeper conceptual understanding of the iterative process of Design Thinking by broadening your target audience to the wider community.
This chart shows how the MYP gradually increases the rigor from Level 1 (Year 1) - Level 3 (Year 5) during the design process.
