**How can we give waste purpose and value? **In this project, students are given a brief from a TV manufacturer to design a household product out of cardboard waste.
This design project is based on a real industry brief. A global contest that challenged contestants to design innovative new objects for the home that could be made by re-purposing cardboard TV packaging.
Students evidence their design process in a 22 page digital portfolio (Powerpoint) in line with the four assessment criteria. Alternatively this can be printed or used as a template. Included are teacher and student examples. A unit plan is also included.
Lessons cover:
♦ Introduction to cardboard waste and the circular economy - factors and innovative solutions to minimise waste). Why is cardboard waste a growing problem?
♦ Ideation using the SCAMPER technique. Initial sketches worksheet.
♦ Advanced sketching techniques: isometric drawing - Which advanced sketching techniques do designers use? Isometric resource sheets.
♦ Planning and constructing ideas- Would someone else be able to construct my idea? Shape nets resource sheets.
♦ Iterative Design and Prototyping - How and why do we prototype? 2D design and/or physical prototyping. Evaluating our designs.
♦ Creating a Guide - How would someone else construct my idea?
This project does not require the use of specialist classrooms and cardboard could be substituted with paper and scissors if necessary. This project could also be set as remote learning.
This unit/project is designed for a half-term (6-8 weeks) though can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly.
If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work please leave a review and visit my shop where there is a range of creative and engaging design and engineering projects.
