Learners start by identifying a specific pain point or problem based on the inconvenient and uncomfortable scenarios encountered in the Moonshot Academy restrooms. Using the design and development knowledge they have learned, combined with innovative technological ideas, they work in groups to conduct user research, propose solutions, design and develop the solutions, and present and reflect on the results. Through evaluation, the solution that best meets real needs and gains unanimous recognition will be implemented across the entire school.
Through well-structured activities, the project process rooted in real-world issues helps learners develop skills such as teamwork, project management, execution, and problem-solving, while also enhancing their sense of social responsibility.
