6 steps · 60 min| # | What teachers do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction and Objective: Discuss the goal of the activity and what you will create (10 min). |
| 2 | Prototype Creation: Build a low-fidelity paper or cardboard model of your chicken coop. Consider space, access, and airflow (90 min). |
| 3 | Peer Feedback: Pair up with a partner to present your model and gather feedback (30 min). |
| 4 | Model Iteration: Use feedback to make improvements to your prototype. Document changes in a one-page iteration log (60 min). |
| 5 | Gallery Walk: Display your models and log entries for a class review and additional feedback (40 min). |
| 6 | Reflection and Wrap-Up: Discuss what you've learned and how you can apply it to future iterations (40 min). |
Preparation (4 items)
- Gather materials such as paper, cardboard, scissors, tape, and markers.
- Create a simple feedback sheet for peers to fill out during the feedback session.
- Prepare a space where students can display their models for the gallery walk.
- Ensure access to AutoCAD or any modeling software if digital iterations are needed.
Student-facing instructions
Your task is to create a low-fidelity model of your ergonomic chicken coop using materials like paper and cardboard. Focus on designing for space, access, and airflow. After building your model, pair with a partner to share feedback, document these insights on an iteration log, and refine your model accordingly. Finally, participate in a gallery walk to give and receive additional feedback.
