Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate Feaster Charter modular buildings using Google Earth, Google Maps, and school-site measurements to gather accurate dimensions for a scale model
Students will be able to analyze green architecture features in Feaster Charter and identify sustainable design opportunities that reduce environmental impact
Students will be able to define a user-centered design problem for a school building model by distinguishing observed needs from possible solutions in a clear How Might We statement
Students will be able to synthesize user observations, site evidence, and green architecture principles to generate multiple model concepts for Feaster Charter
Students will be able to prototype a scaled 3D model in Tinkercad that represents Feaster Charter buildings and includes selected sustainable design features
Students will be able to test and refine prototype model choices using feedback, measurements, and simple iteration logs
Students will be able to justify how their final school model minimizes environmental impact by citing scientific evidence, material choices, and trade-offs
Products
Feaster Charter User Research Portfolio and Tinkercad Concept Prototype
Each student submits a research portfolio with measurement notes, Google Earth/Maps evidence, a simple user interview or observation record, and a clear How Might We statement. The portfolio also includes one individual Tinkercad concept prototype that shows how user needs and green architecture ideas shaped the design.
Scaled 3D-Printed Feaster Charter School Model with Sustainable Design Pitch
Teams create a shared problem statement, a higher-fidelity coordinated school model, and a stakeholder-ready presentation explaining design decisions, trade-offs, and sustainability features. The final product must show how individual research and prototypes informed the team’s tested solution.
