Design Technology – Doodlers

This week, we have been looking at designing our own doodlers. These little creatures require a working circuit, which spins a motor in order to draw around a page. Before we make our own doodlers, we needed to investigate existing products to determine the factors that affect the product’s form and function. We had to work as a team to take apart the doodler and reassemble it; determine which parts of the product affected its form; and alter the way that the product functions by tinkering with its configuration. In the next few weeks, we will be designing and making our own doodlers so watch this space!
