Design

Key Components of the Program 

The MYP Digital Design curriculum equips students with the skills to navigate and create in an increasingly technology-driven world. Through the design cycle—inquiring & analysing, developing ideas, creating solutions, and evaluating—students learn to approach problem-solving in a structured and creative way. They engage with a variety of digital tools, including graphic design, coding, multimedia production, and user interface development, to create innovative solutions to real-world challenges. 

Goals of the Program in the Subject 

The program aims to develop students' computational thinking, creativity, and ability to apply design principles effectively. It encourages them to think critically about the role of technology in society and how digital solutions can be used to address real-world problems. By fostering resilience, collaboration, and an iterative design mindset, students build valuable skills for future studies and careers in technology, engineering, and creative industries. 

Approach to Teaching the Subject 

Digital Design in the MYP is taught through an inquiry-based and project-driven approach. Students work on hands-on design challenges that require them to research, ideate, prototype, and refine digital products. They explore various design disciplines, including web design, app development, animation, and 3D modelling, while learning about the ethical and social implications of technology. Lessons emphasize innovation, user-cantered design, and the development of problem-solving strategies that prepare students for a rapidly evolving digital world.
