Toolkit: Is That Design?

Kevin Collins

Is That Design?

Students explore where design exists in their own community and design and manufacture a prototype improving the features of a design. This unit is intended to highlight that design is everywhere, even in our own backyards. It also recognises that everyone can be and indeed is required to be a designer.
