Lesson Plan

Prototyping

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

I need something to test. The three sessions in this instructional activity have individuals build and test a prototype of their design. The first two sessions are devoted to prepping for the prototype by drawing up specifications and materials. The last session is devoted to testing the product by getting user feedback on the prototype.
