Design Technologies – Project 4 The Recycled Robot AC9TDE8K06: 9 Lesson Plans + Marking Rubric + Worksheet Suggestions (Year 7/8)

Get ready to unleash your creativity and ingenuity in this exciting project: Designing and building a Recycled Robot!
In today's world, we're constantly surrounded by materials that are often discarded. But what if we could give these materials a new life? In this project, we'll be exploring the fascinating world of robotics while also learning about the importance of sustainability. We'll use the power of Design Thinking to guide our process. We'll start by empathising with the needs of our robot – what should it do? Then, we'll define the challenge and identify the constraints we'll be working within. Next comes the fun part: ideation!

We'll brainstorm crazy ideas and explore different possibilities. We'll then move on to the exciting phase of prototyping, where we'll experiment with different recycled materials like cardboard, plastic bottles, and bottle caps to build our robot. We'll test our prototypes, identify problems, and refine our designs.

Finally, we'll present our amazing recycled robots to the class and share our learning
experiences. This project will challenge your creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork, while also teaching you about the principles of robotics and the importance of sustainability. So, let's get ready to transform trash into treasure and build some incredible recycled robots!"
