Together we can design more sustainable, inclusive and innovative schools.
In this project, students are tasked with the global design challenge of re-designing schools so that they are more sustainable, inclusive and innovative. Using their own school as an example, students complete a portfolio, following the design process, to design, model and justify their solutions.
Project covers:
- Introduction to the design brief.
- User Research
- Analysing other sustainable, innovative, and accessible school examples from around the world.
- Writing a design specification.
- Initial sketching.
- Refined sketching.
- CAD modelling.
- Final prototyping
This project culminates in students re-designing their current school or designing a new school using free Google SketchUp software (free, Cloud-based, no installation needed).

IB MYP Design Units Full Bundle
Full MYP Units Bundle which can cover the entire 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: * Product Design Unit - Desk Tidy Product (MY1). * Graphic Design Unit - Personified Typography (various briefs) (MY1). * Product Design Unit - Cardboard Up-cycling Project (industry brief) (MY2). * 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 and App Design Unit - Smart Water Bottle and App (MY3). * Architecture Unit - Designing Accessible, Innovative, and Sustainable Schools.
