Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
Pupils learn about biomimicry and innovation. They will learn how to use sources of inspiration to create a range of ideas for a product encouraging children to grow vegetables. The pupils will develop ideas and manufacture a prototype. Variation allows for different material outcomes.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to use AI to visualise design developments.
Key Notes
- When responding to feedback AI can be used to develop ideas.
- AI may be biased or use stereotypes, such as representing people as one ethnicity.
Vocabulary To Learn
- AI: Artificial Intelligence: the simulation of human intelligence in machines that can learn, reason and solve problems
- algorithm: a set of rules or procedures a machine follows to process data and make decisions
- bias: a tendency to favour or judge something unfairly based on personal beliefs or preferences
- stereotypes: a generalised belief or assumption about a group of people or things
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Using AI when designing is cheating.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
When responding to feedback AI can be used to develop ideas. AI may be biased or use stereotypes, such as representing people as one ethnicity.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'AI'
Artificial Intelligence: the simulation of human intelligence in machines that can learn, reason and solve problems.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Using AI when designing is cheating. Correction: AI can be used to help inspire us and is used to develop our own ideas. We must just be open and honest in our use of it.
