Welcome To
Design and Modeling
Educating students on the past, present, and future of technology, while opening eyes, minds and hearts through hands on projects and activities.
Design and Modeling(DM) provides students opportunities to apply the design process to creatively solve problems. Students learn and utilize methods for communicating design ideas through sketches, solid models, and mathematical models. Students learn thumbnail, orthographic, isometric, and perspective sketching as methods for communicating design ideas effectively without the use of technology. Students learn unit conversions and mechanical dissection to better understand how objects and parts interact while producing sketches in their engineering notebooks. Teams design a toy or a game for a child with cerebral palsy, fabricate and test it, make any modifications to optimize the design solution and then present the team model.
