This project acts as an excellent introduction to the workshop using digital CAD/CAM and/or physical woodworking processes to design, manufacture and package a functioning product Students are tasked with designing, creating and marketing their own wooden desk tidy for a high street retailer, that reflects a city of their choice. Project is planned for 1 term 12 - 14 lessons. Lessons: L1 - What is design? - Introduction to product design L2 - Why use different stuff for different stuff? - Material theory L3 - How do we draw a recongisable city - Initial sketches L4 - How can we put together bits of wood? - Introduction to joinery L5 - How can I draw something quickly in 3D? - Isometric drawing skills L6 - How can I make something without using any materials? - CAD modelling (SketchUp) L7+ - Why use different tools for different jobs? - Making and makers log L8 - What is graphic design? - Packaging This project has been planned for either physical production with traditional woodworking tools, or digital production with a laser cutter and CAD program. Both series of lessons have been separated for you and are provided. Included is a portfolio with templates/worksheets in line with the assessment criteria and aims of the IB program. This can be delivered digitally or printed physically. Also included are modeling examples, student examples, videos, and individual task worksheets. This unit/project is designed for a term (12-14 weeks) though can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly. If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.

Pupils love being creative with the project. Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links. Whilst requiring very little resources (only paper). Also Included is homework, with student/teacher examples. LS1 **Students are introduced to the architect Daniel Libeskind and how he uses form to convey a message or narrative. Lesson includes post card group work with a particular focus on the Imperial War Museum in Manchester. They then apply their understanding of Daniel Libeskind to design their own building out of a single, paper disk, for a particular brief. ** Students complete their building designs and justify their concepts with differentiated key words. Also included is an instructional video to aid with delivery of content. – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.
