Highly Engaging Room Design Project | Sims-Inspired DT Unit with CAD & Model Making

Product Description
This 12-hour unit of work, inspired by The Sims, challenges students to design and construct a scale model of a room. The project combines interior and architectural design principles with key drawing techniques, including planometric, perspective, and CAD drawing.
Working collaboratively in teams, students take on defined roles, developing leadership and teamwork skills while working within a set budget. This real-world constraint encourages thoughtful decision-making, creativity, and problem-solving throughout the design process.
Highly engaging and hands-on, this project is consistently popular with students. It offers a rewarding design-and-make experience, blending technical drawing, CAD skills, and practical prototyping.
