Description:
By the end of this project students will be able to understand and work through the stages of the design process, researching, sketching, assessing and evaluating design criterias when choosing a design concept and then create a model of their design. This project can be used in a TIJ Grade 9 course as a technological design unit or in a TDJ9/10 Course. The future is changing faster than it ever has. Get ready to drive into the future of AI and autonomous vehicles. But wait, is AI going to design the vehicles we use as well as drive them? Not this time, let's show off what we can do and put a personal human touch into the design of an autonomous driven taxi, something that shows off what is possible now or in the future.
