Visy Education - Imagining a Design Solution

This lesson forms part of a Design Thinking Unit in which students identify issues relating to recycling, build an understanding of the impact that not recycling can have in their own community, work to find and prototype a solution, then take action in their community that addresses the issues they have identified. Prior to this lesson, students will have identified concerns related to recycling practices and habits, surveyed their school community to develop empathy, and selected an idea for action. They now begin to develop their idea by creating prototypes to be shared within their community. This involves developing initial ideas, then consulting with their peers to gain feedback and improve their designs.
