Welcome to Design!

  • Welcome to MYP IB Design!

    This year, 6th graders will explore real world problems, and come up with possible solutions that will have them thinking about designing a sustainable future. They will learn about the Design cycle and how to apply it when working on their projects. They will learn about the UN's Global Goals and where we are at solving them.

    7th Graders will begin where we left off, after a refresher course in the design cycle, as well as the research that we did on our Unit, "Designing a living space". They will dive deeper into the UN Global Goals, and create new products and prototypes. It is certain to be an exciting year!

    8th Grade, it is here! Our favorite project! The Cardboard Chair Unit! But wait, there's more! This year we will also be following along with "Future City's", a worldwide design competition, to design and prototype a FLOATING CITY! I'm very excited to see the student's dreams of how to attain a sustainable, floating city! This year we will not be competing, but I'm hoping that it may be an option for future students.

    All students will also tackle critical thinking when they ask themselves, "Just because we can, does it mean we should?"
