September 2023-2024 Welcome to Design & Modeling (DM)
Design & Modeling (33 days - one marking period)
The DM class utilizes Project Lead the Way (PLTW) modules in conjunction with Google Apps for Education. The PLTW course being taught is called Design and Modeling.
Design and Modeling is an introductory pre-engineering course. Students discover the design process and develop an understanding of the influence of creativity and innovation in their lives. They are then challenged and empowered to use and apply what they’ve learned throughout the unit to design a therapeutic toy for a child who has special needs.
PLTW DM is a pre-engineering course and an important aspect of the class is brainstorming and solving problems. Students will be performing collaborative Engineering Design Challenges.
