Design Technologies - Project 1 Sustainable Shelter Solutions: 9 Lesson Plans + Marking Rubric + Worksheet Suggestions (Year 7 - 8)

In this exciting project, we'll embark on a journey of creativity and innovation as we explore the principles of sustainable living and design. We'll delve into the world of sustainable shelters, investigating how we can design homes that are not only comfortable and functional, but also environmentally friendly and socially responsible.

Using the powerful framework of Design Thinking, we'll learn to empathize with the needs of different people, brainstorm innovative ideas, and develop creative solutions to the challenges of sustainable living. We'll explore a range of sustainable materials and technologies, and consider the ethical and environmental implications of our design choices.

Through hands-on activities, including model making and prototyping, we'll bring our ideas to life and learn valuable skills in design, problem-solving, and teamwork. This project will challenge you to think critically, creatively, and sustainably as you design shelters that are not only beautiful and functional, but also a positive contribution to our planet. Let's get designing!
