Introduction

  • Hey, eco-friendly explorers! Ready to dive into sustainability and tool design? Here’s what’s on the agenda:
    Let’s Chat Green: Kick things off with a quick chat about sustainability and why it’s super important, especially when it comes to designing tools. Think about how we can make stuff that lasts without harming the planet.
  • Meet the Machines: Next up, we’re diving into the world of simple machines. These babies are like the building blocks of most tools! Get ready to learn about levers, pulleys, and all that cool stuff.
  • Check Out Cool Examples: After our chat, we’ll take a peek at some awesome sustainable tools on Canva. See how these tools are designed with the planet in mind and the simple machines they use to get the job done. Let’s get inspired to make a difference!

STEP 1

  • Chat with the Bot: Team up and fire up the AI Chatbot to explore all kinds of sustainable tools. Think about how these tools make life easier while being kind to our planet. It’s like having a green chat with a smart buddy!
  • Get Brainstorming: Gather ’round in groups and let those ideas flow! Think about the tools you use every day and how we can make them even more eco-friendly by tweaking the simple machines inside. Let’s put our heads together and make a difference!
  • Make it Personal: As you’re brainstorming, think about your own experiences with these tools. How can we make them greener and more sustainable? Let’s make those connections and come up with some awesome ideas!

STEP 2

  • Let’s Get Creative: Grab Copilot image creator or another cool AI tool and start designing your very own sustainable tool. Think about how it can be green and make life easier. Get those creative juices flowing!
  • STEM Fun: Chat with your buddies about how your designs use science and engineering to solve problems sustainably. It’s like being a mini-scientist and engineer all rolled into one!
  • Make It Your Own: Think about all the tools and simple machines you already know about. How can you put your own spin on them to make something totally new and eco-friendly? Let’s see those innovative ideas in action!

STEP 3

ASSESMENT
