Grade 6 · Year 1Teacher Resource

Lego Designers

Students are introduced to the design cycle through a structured Lego building challenge. Working with constraints of time, budget and materials, they develop empathy for users, generate and test ideas, and reflect on outcomes using the MYP design criteria.

Students explain the need for a solution, analyse existing Lego products, and develop a design brief that outlines the requirements for a solution.

Criterion A teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.

Students develop a design specification, present a range of design ideas using annotated sketches, and select a preferred design with justification.

Criterion B teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.

Students construct the Lego solution following a plan, demonstrate technical skills, and record the creation process with evidence of decision-making and changes.

Criterion C teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.

Students evaluate the success of the solution against the design specification, reflect on the impact of the product, and suggest improvements based on testing and feedback.

Criterion D teacher notes and task guidance will be added here.
