Content
MYP Unit | Outline |
Flower Garden | Students will use the technological design process to create a digital electronics outcome that provides the target audience with a display stand from recycled materials. The global context for this project is “Globalisation and Sustainability”. |
Bluetooth Audio | Students will develop ideas for a speaker box and will evaluate the design within the global context of “Scientific and Technical Innovation". |
Personalised Keyring Holder | Students will develop the purpose of a personalised key ring and will demonstrate skills such as Corel Draw, designing schematics, Arduino UNO prototyping, Coding using C++ within the global context of “Fairness and Development”. |
Recommended Prior Learning
- An overall idea of the design cycle.
- Fair idea about the design terminologies.
