Sec1 Design Module Lecture

1. The document outlines a design module where pupils are tasked with designing a handheld electronic device charging station out of cardboard that can hold at least one device and is no larger than 150x150x3 cm. 2. Pupils are guided through understanding the design task, setting design specifications, and generating ideas through ideation techniques like "Many Ways of Squeezing a Lemon" to explore different ways of holding a device for charging. 3. Key methods for constructing the charging station out of cardboard are outlined, including folding, joining with slots, pop-outs, and cutting within the material. Pupils are directed to start by developing the structural skeleton of their

Design Module
At the end of the module
Pupils should be able:
2. Pupils should be able to appreciate and
experience the design process by
understanding the design task, setting
relevant design specifications and
generating interactive ideas.
The Task (pg 5)
• Project: The “Handheld
Electronic Device” Charging
Station
• Design and make a “Handheld
Electronic Device” charging
station that can hold at least 1
device for recharging purposes.
Your solution should not exceed
150 x 150 x 3 of cardboard.
Understanding the Task
• Design Activity 1: Analyze this! (10
mins)

• Work in pairs
Design Specifications
• What are Design Specifications? (pg 7)

• Do a testing to verify whether the design


specifications were set appropriately for
the “Fish Teether”. (10 mins)
• How to set Design Specs (design activity
2A) (group work) (20 mins). Choose a
designer product from the CITECH and
work on pg 8.
Now your turn
• Set the Design Specifications for your “
hand-held device charging station” (15
mins)
Ideation
• Many ways of squeezing a lemon (design
activity 3A) (pair work) (15 mins)
(10 mins write and discuss + 5 mins presentation)
(Pg 10)

The key concept in defining


your project is the way to hold the
device while charging.

Many ways of holding a note
By displaying on a stand

By gaps
What about other ways of holding?
• Try relating to how you can apply to your
project
Can your design tell a story?
Pacifier dryer
Card Holder

Stress Balls

Clock
Your material
• Cardboard
What can we do with
cardboard?
Key methods
• Folding – scoring, bending, slitting
• Joining – slots
• Pop-outs
• Cutting within the material
Where do I start ？
Of course you need a working concept
(ways of holding) to start with.
First: Work on the structure (skeleton) of the

product.
Structures
