A complete design, print and build challenge
Combine product design, health science and data analysis in one classroom project. Students design and print a watch housing, assemble the electronics, and use heart-rate readings to explore exercise and fitness.
Students move from a digital housing concept to a wearable heart-rate project they can use for health and data lessons.
Why it works in the classroom
The project gives students a clear brief and a physical result they can test. The supplied base model provides a practical starting point while leaving room for original ideas, measurement, iteration and discussion.
Learning opportunities
- 3D design and dimensional measurement
- How the human heart and heart rate work
- Health, fitness and the effect of activity intensity
- Data collection, graphing and analysis
