ADST 9 – Problem Solving Through Design 9
This course teaches students the process of using critical and creative thinking skills when designing to meet specifications. It is a project-based course, which allows students to receive credit for both ADST 9 and General Fine Arts 9. Starting with a guided project, students work through the stages of designing to develop their website. Then, in the second part of the course, students choose different design scenarios from a range of topic areas such as foods, textiles, marketing, music, drama, and art, and apply the design process that they learned in the guided project to complete their chosen design scenarios. Students also have the option to earn tech certificates in Food Safe Level 1 and Coding. Finally, students may choose to design their own passion project if they wish. Previous students have designed and coded a computer game, designed and decorated a cake, designed and produced a music video, written and illustrated a children’s book, etc.
