Lesson Idea | Design for All: Project Playground

Engaging students in grades 3-5, this activity invites them to become playground designers. They will create a playground specifically for themselves and a fictional friend using a persona. The process begins with sketching their ideas, allowing for creativity and personal expression. Students will also learn about user-centered design as they consider the likes, dislikes, and needs of their fictional character. This project emphasizes empathy and inclusion, encouraging learners to brainstorm and problem-solve collaboratively. By pitching their designs to peers for feedback, students will enhance their design thinking skills.
