Design, Build, Invent is a guided Term 3 program where students identify a real-world problem and work through the design and technology process to create an invention or working prototype.

Across the term, students will brainstorm, research, sketch, plan, build, test, refine and present their ideas.

The teaching and collaboration happen online, while students complete the hands-on making in their own space using materials suited to their individual project. Even though children are building in their own space, they will still be guided by an educator and part of the group where they can discuss, ask questions, show their work, gain feedback from their peers.
