The Product Design Project
3 min readApr 6, 2020
This is a unit I designed for my Grade 5/6/7 class. It would be suitable for any middle school classroom, and could be modified for higher or lower grades. The unit blends elements of Product Learning, Design Thinking, the Circular Economy and Project-Based Learning. Students will employ creative problem-solving to design and build a pencil case, based on research into factors such as aesthetics, life-cycle analysis, feasibility, cost, etc. Please feel free to use it!
