Project Overview: Discover, Design, Build A cross-disciplinary, year-long course (engineering/technology/visual arts) for students in grades 9-12 offered as part of our existing arts/technology elective structure This course will utilize digital fabrication technology in a hands-on learning environment to engage students in collaborative projects to solve real-world problems with community partners The foundation of the curriculum will be problem-based and students will work with a high level of autonomy and independence as part of a process that begins by identifying a problem, and then working as a member of a team to solve the problem; This class will focus on the development of 21st Century skills—collaboration, communication, and creativity

Discover, Design, Build: Essential Questions What is the process used by engineers, scientists, and inventors to develop solutions to important community or societal needs/problems? How can digital tools (hardware and software) be used to create a prototype that is a representation of a design solution? What does successful collaboration look like and how as members of a team do we use individual experiences to help shape collaborative activities? What are the strategies for persisting in the face of failure? As teachers how do we help students to unleash ingenuity? What are the skills needed to make professional presentations? How is mentor and peer feedback used to refine and improve a design concept? 

Discover, Design, Build: Course Structure Course will utilize a co-teaching structure with three teachers representing disciplinary expertise across engineering, technology, and visual arts Students will cycle through unique modules offered by each teacher or will be instructed in small groups for whole-class activities The course will be organized into three phases that correlate to our school’s trimester structure: The “discover” phase will focus on discrete skill development and introduction to the design process and collaborative problem solving The “design” phase will focus on the identification of a community-based problem and the investigation of solutions to this problem The “build” phase will focus on the development of a proposed solution to the problem, with a focus on modeling and the presentation of solutions to various stakeholders
