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.
