Grade 5

• Kindly note that although all the components are introduced in grade 5 the topics in grade 6 are more towards how learners can critically think and make the circuits.  
• The changes will be evident when it comes to reflecting/ observing/discussing/ critical thinking questions throughout the course as well as in the capstone projects (in the final sessions). 
• The difficulty level in the Capstone project is increased by incorporating the observation and conclusion to be jotted down by the learners (with extra challenge questions) making it a little extensive.
• The projects can be mere circuits but it would be great if the learners make the best of of waste turning mere circuits into useful project models that could be suitably used in their Science exhibitions/ Science fairs (leading them to create/ innovate the designs too).

Welcome to "Design Challenges," a dynamic and engaging course that invites you to explore the exciting world of design through a series of thought-provoking challenges. This course is crafted for individuals passionate about unleashing their creative potential and tackling real-world design problems.

What you will learn?

In this hands-on course, you will navigate a curated selection of design challenges, each carefully designed to push boundaries, foster innovative thinking, and enhance problem-solving skills.

We see the world in 3D; almost all products that we use each day are 3-dimensional. Learning how to think in 3D and design 3D objects is essential for spatial intelligence in students. In this course, students will be introduced to basic 2D and 3D geometry and learn how to build 3D shapes and features on CAD software. They will learn about tools to create objects such as Pen stands and drones.

We spend the majority of our time at home, even more so during the pandemic. To create a safe, healthy, and comfortable lifestyle; architects, engineers, and designers work collaboratively in the detailed planning for building a house. In this course, students will explore various tools used by professionals to construct a home in a virtual 3D environment. The sessions are delivered on a mobile/web application (Planner 5D) to enhance skills like spatial mapping, dimensioning, floor planning, CAD modelling, interior design, and rendering.
