The Learning Federation - Design a Chair

Students are encouraged toward independent and creative problem solving. Learners have access to authentic resources and tools including a stakeholder group and an electronic clipboard for recording information about design prototypes. Feedback is rich and complex, with stakeholder comments critiquing the results of three prototypes built by the learner. Access to real world design methods, tools and process is enriched by the ability to test prototypes in situ, within environments they will be used and to see the effects of designed items over time (1-5 years).
