I am a specialist Product and Graphic Design Teacher, specialising in the Iterative process of designing, prototyping and evaluating. With a particular focus on entrepreneurship and making, rooted in real-world contexts and challenges.
My mission is to plan and deliver creative, fun and engaging lessons for KS3, 4 and 5, ages 11-18.
Pupils love being creative with this project which covers the entire design process of designing a physical smart toothbrush and an accompanying app, with the aim of encouraging and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The project does not include any coding, rather it is focused on the design process, critical thinking and communicating ideas, culminating in a physical prototype and a clickable digital prototype of an app.
SOI: Scientific and technical innovation can be made by connecting physical and digital products.
Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links that align with the international IB curriculum. The project requires very few resources and any apps used are free and cloud-based. The project can be adapted for different physical and/or digital learning spaces.
Included is a digital portfolio which follows the four assessment objectives of the IB Design curriculum. The portfolio can be delivered digitally, printed or used as a guide. Student/teacher examples are also included.
Lessons include:
♦ Ergonomics and Anthropometrics theory.
♦ Internet of Things theory.
♦ Understanding and writing a design brief.
♦ Writing a design specification for a particular user and client.
♦ User-centered design and user research methods.
♦ Ideation strategies.
♦ Sketching techniques: isometric, orthographic.
♦ Prototyping in foam, card or 3D printing (depending on learning space).
♦ UX design and wireframing an app.
♦ UI design and prototyping a clickable prototype of an app (Figma).
This unit acts as fun and engaging introduction into coding, with** students using the Scratch language to create their own interactive educational game for primary year students. There is an accompanying portfolio for students to complete where they investigate, design then test/evaluate their programs.
Statement of Enquiry: Scientific logic and systems can be used to create innovative and functional products.
Unit covers:
♦ Introduction to coding: How does a computer understand instructions?
♦ Introduction into: storage - process - output: How can we create interactions?
♦ Debugging: How can we find and fix errors in code?
♦ Creating Sprites and backgrounds: How can we size and move things on screens?
♦ Program analysis: Why look at the work of others?
♦ Generating and evaluating design ideas:
♦ Loops: How can I simplify my code?
♦ What/if statements: How can code make it’s own decisions?
♦ Variables: How can we use storage to make our programs more interactive?
♦ Feedback: How do we measure the success of our program?
Included are:
Slide presentations for each lesson.
Editable student portfolio.
Additional lesson resources.
Scratch how-to cards.
Links to an online coding course.
Student outcomes and examples.
