Teacher powerpoint slides, individual activities and exemplars for a 14 hour project for KS3 year 7 or year 8.
This project is skills based. Students will need a USB cable (which can be recycled from a keyboard or device) and a LED card (can be purchased in bulk on AliExpress.)
The plywood base uses 18mm and 3mm ply, however the base can be made from a solid piece of timber with a slot rebated on a table router.
This pack contains.
1 - Choosing a design brief and writing a specification.
2 - Drawing design ideas in isometric, 2D and using tinkerCAD, including a PDF of exemplars.
3 - Storyboard planning task, including images and machine infographics.
4 - Pillar drill matching and writing activity (in class, cover or homework).
5 - Soldering reading/word frame activity (in class, cover or homework.)
6 - Evaluation
This activity can be extended with the use of multiple layers and embellishment on the base.
For ITTs it can be simplified using Vinyl Cut stickers on backboards that are precut, this saves time and file conversion.
YouTube CAD tutorials available.
