DT Project Home Based Learning - Toothbrush Design

(0)
This is a 10 hour project I created for pupils who are isolating or working from home during the Covid pandemic. The premis of the project is to consider how design can have a positive impact on others. Pupils are expected to complete the project through independent learning were teacher support is not available. In this project pupils will consider how they can design a product for someone with arthritis. They will look at existing products, carry out some research, create designs on paper and through tinkercad. They will model their designs using home made playdough and create a final pitch. The project is designed so that their is some guidance on what the pupils need to learn or be able to achieve, links to internet resources to help them complete tasks and upload or provide evidance. I use Google classroom to provide pupils with their own copy but you may want to adapt if pupils require paper copies.

Here is one of the powerpoints I made for our house competitions. Players can select from one of the classic children’s games and gain points by playing the game. The powerpoint is fully automated and interactive, There are various outcomes so if they do it once they could do it again for a different outcome. You can add slides and change the transition/links if you desire to make it easier or hard. Interactive games Operation Buckaroo Pop up Pirate Jenga Kerplunk Guess Who and a guess the board game quiz thrown in! This took a couple of hours to create so if you use it and find it useful please review. Thanks
