Week 8: Design Squad and Tinkercad

This week we will be watching a Design Squad Episode that directly relates to our design challenge. While watching the DIY Playground episode, reflect on how this information can be helpful to you in your design challenge.

At home, you will get in the Halloween spirit by completing the Halloween Cookie Cutter Project in Tinkercad.

 Objectives:
​
Students will...
  • ​Identify and use a deliberate design process for generating ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.
  • Select and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks.
  • Develop, test and refine prototypes as part of a cyclical design process. 
  • Exhibit a tolerance for ambiguity, perseverance and the capacity to work with open-ended problems.
  • Formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions.
  • Break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.
