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
- Responding to feedback AI can be used to develop ideas.
- AI may be biased or use stereotypes, such as representing people as one ethnicity.
