Design

As part of the Middle Years Programme (MYP), design challenges all students to:

• apply practical and creative thinking skills to solve design problems
• explore the role of design in both historical and contemporary contexts
• consider their responsibilities when making design decisions and taking action. 

MYP design focuses a holistic design process rather than final products and solutions.

What is the significance of design in the MYP?

MYP uses the design cycle as a way to structure:

• inquiry and analysis of design problems
• development and creation of feasible solutions
• testing and evaluation of students’ models, prototypes, products or systems.
