Design Technologies – Project 2 Incredible Edible School Garden 9 Lesson Plans + Marking Rubric + Worksheet Suggestions (Year 7/8)

Here's an introduction for the Design Technologies project:

"Growing Green: A Design Thinking Approach to Creating a Sustainable School Garden"

This project will take you on a journey of discovery as we explore the principles of Design Thinking to create a sustainable and thriving school garden. We'll delve into the world of sustainable food systems, learning about the importance of local food production, reducing food waste, and promoting healthy eating habits.

Throughout this project, you will work collaboratively to identify needs within our school community, brainstorm creative solutions, and design a functional and beautiful garden that benefits everyone. We'll explore ethical and environmental considerations, learn about different gardening techniques, and develop practical skills in design and prototyping.

By the end of this project, you will have a deeper understanding of the Design Thinking process and its application in real-world contexts. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project that enhances our school environment and promotes sustainability. Let's get growing!
