Disability/Ability Introductory Exercise:
Students pair up. Each team creates a disability/handicapping device, which they inflict/bless another team with.
This team then needs to come up with a solution to living with the disability.

- Form pairs of groups. Each group will create a 'disability' for the other group to come up with a solution for
- Using 'low-res' materials( Cardboard and tape, etc) each group will create a solution to the disability they have been given
- Each group presents their solution to the larger group, including photo/video documentation
Open-ended Design Prompt:
Design a solution for a disability for someone in your life
- With a partner, each pitch 3 possible projects or ideas
- What are your precedents?
- Present ideas to the larger group for comment and discussion
- Choose one project to work on
- Consolidate teams with similar projects
Project Work
- Teams work on projects
- Instructional presentations/exercises on digital tools, such as:
- Rhino software for 2D design
- Fusion 360 for 3D printing
- Using the lasercutter
- 3D Printing
- Arduino electronics
- Using the photobooth
- Using the sewing machine
- Note: presentations are not intended as being exhaustive, but enough to guide follow-up learning with coaches on an as-needed basis.
- More project work, with assistance from coaches- multiple iterations
- Keep Engineering Design Notebook( paper and online journal)
- Once a day, each group presents 1 minute check-in to larger group for comment/critique- Students need to get used to reflecting and modifying their design decisions— ‘Nu Vu is the place where ideas get crushed’—i.e., you need to be willing to change your ideas.
- Documenting projects: Nu-Vu Presentation format:
