Shoe Design Challenge

WHAT WILL YOU MAKE?

How do designers create new things? They follow a design process! First, they decide on specific design criteria, brainstorm their ideas, and sketch their plans. Next, they use a variety of available materials in order to build a prototype that meets their design criteria. After testing their prototype, they iterate on their design to make it better. Designers must be creative problem solvers!

In this maker activity, your challenge is to use the design process to design your dream shoe that has the following criteria:
– Uses recyclable materials
– Stays on your foot on it’s own
– Reflects your own personal style
