Design Brief Creation
Design Brief Creation
Students will define the tiny home wiring problem through resident needs, measurable criteria, and NEC-based constraints; research symbols and layout patterns; and assemble a design brief that prepares them to generate and test wiring concepts in the next phase.
Days 3 - 8
Retest & Showcase
Retest & Showcase
Students will analyze prototype test results, make evidence-based revisions to their tiny home wiring layouts, retest with the same criteria and code checks, document trade-offs and improvements, and prepare a stakeholder walkthrough that explains how their design better meets safety, efficiency, and resident needs.
Days 14 - 18
Showcase
Showcase
Students will present their final tiny home wiring plans to an authentic audience, explain code-based and resident-centered design decisions with evidence from testing and revision, gather feedback from visitors and peers, and complete a closing reflection on technical growth, teamwork, and professional communication.
Days 19 - 20
Plan & Prototype Build
Plan & Prototype Build
Students will turn their design brief into tested wiring solutions by sketching multiple tiny home layouts, comparing options with a weighted decision matrix, selecting and justifying one plan, building a rapid cardboard or paper prototype, and collecting hazard-check data that will guide revision in the next phase.
