Pupils love being creative with this project which covers the entire design process of designing a physical smart toothbrush and an accompanying app, with the aim of encouraging and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The project does not include any coding, rather it is focused on the design process, critical thinking and communicating ideas, culminating in a physical prototype and a clickable digital prototype of an app.
SOI: Scientific and technical innovation can be made by connecting physical and digital products.
Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links that align with the international IB curriculum. The project requires very few resources and any apps used are free and cloud-based. The project can be adapted for different physical and/or digital learning spaces.
Included is a digital portfolio which follows the four assessment objectives of the IB Design curriculum. The portfolio can be delivered digitally, printed or used as a guide. Student/teacher examples are also included.
Lessons include:
♦ Ergonomics and Anthropometrics theory.
♦ Internet of Things theory.
♦ Understanding and writing a design brief.
♦ Writing a design specification for a particular user and client.
♦ User-centered design and user research methods.
♦ Ideation strategies.
♦ Sketching techniques: isometric, orthographic.
♦ Prototyping in foam, card or 3D printing (depending on learning space).
♦ UX design and wireframing an app.
♦ UI design and prototyping a clickable prototype of an app (Figma).
