3D computer aided design

In this lesson, we will learn how to analyse existing products. We will also learn what the word 'ergonomics' means when designing products.

In this lesson, we will learn how to research different topics to better understand how to create a suitable design. We will also learn the difference between primary and secondary research. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.

In this lesson, we will learn what a product's target market is. We will also learn about who your client is for the product we are designing.

In this lesson, we will explore the world of architecture and what impact it has had on the world. We will also learn about famous architects and their work. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.

In this lesson, we will get to understand what a design specification is and why we use one. You will also write your own specification for your design.

In this lesson, we will explore the way we create a range of different design ideas. You will also understand what needs to be be presented when creating a range of designs.

In this lesson, we will be introduced to computer-aided design (CAD) and the software to use. You will also learn about the benefits CAD brings to the design process. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.

In this lesson, we will continue to explore the features in the CAD software to create your design ideas. You will also learn how to effectively develop your designs. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.

In this lesson, we will understand how to present your final designs to your client. You will also learn some of the best techniques when presenting final designs. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.

In this lesson, we will evaluate the final CAD product against the specification written. You will also get feedback from your intended user. Please note this lesson will require some additional equipment, beyond a pen, pencil or paper, to fully participate. Please see the equipment slide near the start of the lesson video and make sure your child is adequately supervised if equipment is required.
