How can we design affordable, sustainable solutions that can help people in lower economically developed countries?
In this project, students are given a brief from the UN to design a sustainable, solar light for people in developing economies, that have limited or no access to electricity.
Statement of inquiry: Considering the interconnection of global infrastructures creates a more equal and sustainable future for our shared planet.
Students are taught a range of creative, STEAM, and research skills using both digital and physical techniques, evidencing their design process through a 23-page digital portfolio (Powerpoint) in line with the four assessment criteria. Alternatively, this can be printed or used as a template. Included are extension tasks, as well as teacher and student examples.
Lessons cover:
♦ Introduction to LEDCs and the environment - historical factors and innovative solutions to provide sustainable, affordable, off-grid energy sources. What are LEDCs? What might life be like without power? What are the alternatives?
♦ Product Analysis using the ACCESS FM technique.
♦ Ideation using the SCAMPER technique.
♦ Advanced sketching techniques: isometric drawing - Which advanced sketching techniques do designers use? Isometric resource sheets.
♦ CAD Prototyping - Sketchup (free online cloud-based program)
♦ Iterative Design and Prototyping - How and why do we prototype? 2D design and/or physical prototyping. Evaluating our designs.
♦ Making the circuit - Solar Panel, LED, Switch - How do we make working circuits using different components?
♦ Final Prototyping - TinkerCad (free online cloud-based program)
♦ Final Prototyping - 3D printing or Laser Cutting

IB MYP Design Units Bundle
MYP Units Bundle which covers each year group for the MYP 1 - 5 Design curriculum, representing a significant saving over buying units individually. In these outstanding, creative units, students are tasked with designing and making solutions in line with specific client-led briefs. With practical, written, and theory work closely related to the new MYP Design Specification and four assessment criteria. These units/projects have been designed for a term (12-14 weeks) or half-term (6-8 weeks) though each can be extended or condensed by modifying the design process and portfolio accordingly. Included is a unit planner that maps each project to units of inquiry (IB), sustainable development goals (UN), ATL skills (IB), and inner development goals (IDGs). Each project covers the entire iterative (non-linear) design process as well as relatable theory. The units are flexible and can be adapted to be taught throughout MY1 to MY5. The recommended MY year group can be found below. Units include: * Graphic Design Unit - Personified Typography (various briefs) (MY1). * Product Design Unit - Phone Stand Product (MY2 or 3). * Architecture Unit - Introduction to Architecture. Worlds’ Leading Architects and Their Creative Processes (MY2 or 3). * Product Design Unit - LEDC Solar Light. (MY4 or 5). * Architecture Unit - Microhouse. (MY4 or 5). --- For more information about each unit please click on each relevant individual resource.
