Website Design Project
Project Title: Designing an educational website
Statement of Inquiry: We can communicate our perspectives digitally using technological innovations.
Key Concept: Communication
Related Concept: Design (Innovation and Perspective)
Global Context: Scientific and Technological Innovation
Major Skills explored in this unit: Website Designing, Design Cycle
About the Unit: The main aim of this unit is for pupils to understand that you can use design to provide a solution to a problem and “design for a purpose”. Pupils will also learn the design process of an Architectural designer as well as developing their analysis, physical modelling, 3D modelling and presentational skills. This project requires them to consider social, moral, economic and environmental factors surrounding them through “looking at the lives of migrant workers and the struggles they have”. Students will use this research to design and create a "Living Pod" model for the migrant workers.
