Bugg Magnet Elementary School Center for Design & Computer Sciences - Grade 3
Students were provided with a real-world scenario and given the task to design and build a sturdy and comfortable sky lift chair that will replace this ski mountain’s current outdated and dangerous sky chairs. Students followed the design thinking process to create a sky lift chair made out of craft sticks, straws, yarn, cotton swabs, aluminum foil and other materials. Students worked collaboratively and followed the design thinking process to complete their project.
