Course Description

Course Overview

Can students design and create an innovative product to help with the needs of the elderly?

This course will call on participants to become creative, critical problem-solvers through a design and make approach. In this course, participants will learn about and apply different areas of technology, namely the engineering design process, electronics and programming to create an innovative product that will address the needs, wants and values of the intended user.

First, they research the well-being needs of the elderly individual and brainstorm innovative ways electronic gadgets can meet those emotional, physical or cognitive needs. To refine the design, the students present mock-ups to the elderly person, family and/or carers to collect feedback. As they build the gadget, students learn to use different tools and technologies.

During the course students will learn how to program directly onto a circuit which will make use of a programmable microcontroller (PICAXE-08) which will determine how the circuit operates.

During the manufacturing process, participants will learn the necessary procedures to work safely and effectively. After producing their final product, participants will engage in an analysis and evaluation of their work and work of others, taking in consideration the social, moral, economic and environmental impact of their product. This course will foster independent learning and critical thinking in participants, which are the skills needed for today’s fast changing modern society.

InnovativeKids Malta

InnovativeKids by AK Malta was conceived as an idea to promote INNOVATION and CREATIVITY through inter-disciplinary learning experiences aimed at 21st century knowledge and skills.

⭐ MULTIDISCIPLINARY

In today and tomorrow’s world students require multidomain knowledge and skills. We break the mould of teaching by subject. Through our project-based system students are able to learn mathemathics, literacy and history through the arts. They are able to mix knowledge from different domains to come up with a creative solution or outcome.

⭐ ORGANIC LEARNING

Our competence-oriented approach allows students to learn through their own mistakes, reflect and improve. It allows students the space and time for errors and correction. A system which aims to reshape how students portray Failure.

⭐ INTEREST DRIVEN

Motivation like in anything else in life is a key aspect in a child’s learning experience. When learning is joyful and desirable, students are hungry to learn on their own, without outside persuasion
