Flat Pack

1. 

   To prepare ourselves for the market day next term, we are learning how to use the design. We want to decorative models that can be put on top of the shelves by the window.
   We had a go at following instructions to make a flat pack Christmas Tree. We used this concept to help us to create our own flat pack using the design process.
   As part of the design process we created prototypes and reflected on what worked and what didn't.
   
   
   When something doesn't work, we don't get upset. We think "Great I have found out how not to do it. I think I will try .... this time."
   
   
   Thomas Edison is our inspiration. He tried 10,000 ways of making a light bulb before it actually worked. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
   

   

   The Design Brief.

What am I making? 

Collect pictures, drawings and thoughts that you could try. 

Techniques to try. Don’t be scared to think big!
