design for school project

Starting a School Design Project

• Posted July 31, 2019
• By Emily Boudreau

Schools and teachers often use summer as a time to rethink classrooms and learning spaces. The challenge — whether it’s rearranging the furniture or planning a complete school renovation — is to make these changes in a way that goes beyond aesthetics and actually results in an environment that sparks curiosity .

Learning goals should guide the design process, not follow, says  Daniel Wilson , director and principal investigator at Project Zero. “Oftentimes, exemplary school designs, model plans, or trendy images can lead schools and teachers to make premature decisions about what classrooms should look like. We want to pause that momentum and turn discussions towards the learning goals that will matter most in the community — and really get concrete about what that learning looks like in everyday interactions.”

Wilson co-leads a summer institute called Learning Environments for Tomorrow (LEFT) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education —  bringing together researchers, architects, designers, and educators to explore how learning spaces can support various goals, such as playfulness, collaboration, and civic engagement. The program’s leaders — who also include David Stephen , co-founder of New Vista Design , and Ela Ben-Ur , adjunct assistant professor of design at Olin College — have devised models for guiding learning design and, along with collaborators at LEFT, have created frameworks that can help teams of school leaders, administrators, and designers from think about aspects of design.

Embarking on a school design project? Here’s what to know

Usable Knowledge sat down with Wilson to explore practical considerations of designing playful and collaborative learning spaces.

Start with questions that engage the community

Interviews and focus groups can engage students, teachers, parents, and others in reflective conversations about their values and experiences of rich and collaborative learning. Try asking:

• Who will be using the space we’re creating?
• What does playful learning look like for students and teachers?
• Does it involve collaboration? Access to materials or people? Other elements?
• What are we learning from their voices that suggest how we might support teachers and students?

Let goals and pedagogy lead the design

Once you’ve gathered insights from the community, develop a goal or pedagogy of practice that can guide your spatial design. 

If you’re trying to design a space to support playful learning, think about practices that support learners’ sense of choice, wonder, and delight. (Depending on the values of the community and definitions of words like these, playful learning spaces may look and feel quite different from one another.)

Start small and develop a flexible prototype

Design projects don’t have be large overhauls that cost millions of dollars. Wilson recommends starting with “micro-interventions” — small ways to change furniture arrangements or introduce windows and objects into a space. (Check out this Usable Knowledge Piece for more ideas.)

Solicit feedback

Just because a design has been implemented doesn’t mean it’s working well. Continually check in with stakeholders to generate and incorporate feedback. Having a flexible prototype means that interventions should be flexible and easy to shift to accommodate new knowledge.

Question assumptions and inherited features

“Many of the systematic features of schooling were set in motion prior to our knowing much about learning ,” Wilson says. “The idea of classes, sequential curriculum, that we’re going to have students from a particular age to another age — these were all done for a variety of anachronistic reasons. What we now know in learning science is that learning is complex, often unpredictable, and a socially developed phenomenon.”

If we want schools to support human development and learning, Wilson says, we need to begin to question some of what we’ve inherited.

“ Oftentimes, exemplary school designs, model plans, or trendy images can lead schools and teachers to make premature decisions about what classrooms should look like. We want to pause that momentum and turn discussions towards the learning goals that will matter most in the community. ” – Daniel Wilson

 And keep in mind . . .

• Avoid trends. One of the most common pitfalls Wilson sees is that designers can often focus on what’s trendy or aesthetically pleasing, rather than the way in which a space functions in a particular community, with its particular goals and pedagogy.  
• Evaluation is a process. Ways of measuring the success of a design are not well developed, because it can be very subjective. But Wilson notes that LEFT can incubate the answers to questions of how to evaluate success as teams of participants go through the modules. When it comes to playfulness, Wilson cites emerging research on the pedagogy of play  at Project Zero that looks at playful learning in different cultural contexts and finds commonalities of choice, wonder, and delight that are observable and sensed.
• Adults use these spaces too! The educational experiences of teachers in school environments is often a neglected aspect of this process. Research suggests that when adults are engaged in rich learning experiences, it will impact the experiences of students.
• Prioritize equity. Think about whose voices are being heard in the design process. Discussions tend to focus on economics, efficiency, and security, and while these are all aspects that need to be considered, there are ways of working within constraints while inviting all stakeholders into the conversation.

Quick tips for playful classroom design

• Provide different materials and classroom locations for kids to explore . Variety can heighten wonder and surprise.
• Rethink the focal point of the classroom. Traditional classrooms often use a white board as the center of student attention. The potential implication: learning is directed only by the teacher. What would it look like to change this?  
• Make sure materials and storage units are accessible, so children can actually make learning choices for themselves.
• Use flexible furniture arrangements that teachers and children can change.  
• Mix colors, textures, and shapes in the classroom . The environment itself should provide a starting point for inquiry.
• Partner with students . Ask them to design a corner of the classroom, develop exhibits, and choose artwork to display.

How to Create a Successful Project (for School)

Last Updated: July 11, 2023 Fact Checked

This article was co-authored by Kim Gillingham, MA . Kim Gillingham is a retired library and information specialist with over 30 years of experience. She has a Master's in Library Science from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, and she managed the audiovisual department of the district library center in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, for 12 years. She continues to do volunteer work for various libraries and lending library projects in her local community. There are 8 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page. This article has been fact-checked, ensuring the accuracy of any cited facts and confirming the authority of its sources. This article has been viewed 532,936 times.

School projects can come in a variety of forms, and the exact process you'll need to create a successful one will vary from project to project, subject to subject, and class to class. However, some general steps and best practices can help you tackle any project on your plate more successfully. You'll need to pick a topic and plan out your project. Next, you'll need to do some research. Finally, you'll need to put everything together in your final project.

Deciding on a Project

• For instance, maybe your assignment is "Create a visual representation of the US Civil War. You can pick one battle, one idea, one speech, a defining moment, or focus on the war as a whole. Make sure to include relevant dates and people in your representation."
• You can break this down into parts: 1) Make something visual about the Civil War. 2) Choose a focus. 3) Include relevant dates. 4) Include relevant people.

• Try freewriting. Take out a sheet of paper. On the top, write down something such as "US Civil War Project." Start writing about the project. Don't stop yourself or censor ideas. Just let them come as they will. For instance, maybe you could start out by writing "For me, one of the defining points of the Civil War was the Gettysburg Address. It really made clear that the fight was about human equality. But now I must make that visual. Four-score and seven years ago... I could take individual lines, maybe? Connect ideas to defining parts of the war..." [3] X Trustworthy Source University of North Carolina Writing Center UNC's on-campus and online instructional service that provides assistance to students, faculty, and others during the writing process Go to source
• Try a map. Start with a circle in the middle of the paper with "US Civil War Project" written in the middle of it. Draw a line from the center circle to another circle, and add a fact or idea. Just keep associating ideas together, not really thinking too deeply about it. As you go, group like ideas near each other. When you're done, look at where the largest groupings are, and let that guide your focus. [4] X Trustworthy Source University of North Carolina Writing Center UNC's on-campus and online instructional service that provides assistance to students, faculty, and others during the writing process Go to source

• The best way to pick a topic is to choose what you focused on in your brainstorming. For instance, maybe you think the Gettysburg Address is a good focal point.
• However, if your topic is still too broad, such as "battles in the Civil War," try picking one aspect within that topic. You could choose one battle you think is defining, or a particular aspect of the battles, such as battle fatigue in soldiers.
• Most public and university libraries have databases providing access to scholarly articles. You can always ask the librarian to help you find what you're looking for

• You can even think about doing something 3-dimensional instead of 2-dimensional. Maybe you could make a 3-D map of the battles, depicting the movement of troops.
• Alternatively, you could try sculpting out of papier-mâché. Maybe you could sculpt Abraham Lincoln and use scripts coming off his body to tell your story.

Planning Out Your Project

• To make an outline, start with the main topic you are covering. Maybe you're doing the Gettysburg Address. Write that at the top.
• Next, break down your project into sub-headings. Maybe your subheadings could be "Speech Background," "Location of Speech," and "Impact of Speech."
• Under your subheadings, jot down the basic ideas of what you'll need. For instance, under "Speech Background," you might need the date, what battle preceded the speech, and the reason Lincoln gave the speech.

• Assign time for each chunk, including deadlines. Work from the final deadline backward. For instance, if you have 4 weeks to complete your project, say you'll spend the last week painting and putting the project together. The week before that, write out the text for your project. The week before that, research your project. In the first week, make your plan, and get your materials together.
• If needed, divide your project further. For instance, "researching the speech" may need to be divided into several days' worth of work.

Researching Your Projects

• When using an article database, narrow the search engine to only relevant databases. For instance, platforms such as EBSCOhost carry a wide range of smaller databases, and you can narrow your search down to one relevant to your topic, such as a database focused on history.
• You can also research the archives of particular newspapers. While some newspapers offer free access to their archives, others might require you to pay.

• You'll need the author's full name, the title of the book, the publisher, the edition, the date it was published, the city it was published in, the title and author of individual articles in the book if it has them, and the page number where you found the information.
• For articles, you'll need the author's full name, the title of the article and the journal, the volume and issue (if it has them), the page numbers of the article, the page number you found it, and the digital online identifier number (doi), which is usually on the description page in the catalog.

Creating Your Project

• Your teacher should tell you how should cite your sources or what guidelines you should be using.
• If you don't know how to write according to those guidelines, try an online resource such as Purdue's Online Writing Lab. It covers the basics of the major citation styles. [12] X Research source

• Before you turn it in, make sure you covered everything your teacher asked you to.
• If you skipped something, see if you can add it in, even if it's last minute.

Community Q&A

• Ensure you build in extra time for each step. You may run into problems or parts may take longer than you think. Thanks Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0

How to start a school design project.

Major Lessons of Contemporary School Design: 37 Learning Spaces from Around the World

• Written by James Wormald
• Published on November 15, 2023

The role of a school is to prepare children for life. But with life-changing faster than ever, schools need to change just as quickly. Recent additions to school curriculums reflect the complexities of modern life, with environmental crises, societal injustices, and the dangers of social media now major parts of the syllabus.

Although it’s often said that long-term change begins at ground-level, change is never easy, wherever it starts. For example, a curriculum that responds to environmental issues is said to cause growing instances of eco-anxiety in children , one of a number of causes of another crisis , in children’s mental health.

As what we educate children changes, educational environments change too. Not just with low-carbon buildings and outdoor teaching demonstrating sustainability, but with modern spaces that teach children how to navigate climate, social, and inclusivity issues, while also caring for themselves and their own mental health by learning how to talk, and listen, to others.

"Be True To Yourself" in a Private Space of One’s Own: Lockers

People, especially impressionable young people, should be taught they do not need to change as much as society seems to suggest. But honesty with oneself is hard when you don’t yet know who you are. Fear of not fitting in is one of the more traditional causes of school anxiety and forces children to wear many different hats throughout the day. Which can be psychologically exhausting. Private storage spaces like lockers allow students to keep personal objects nearby, thus creating a safe, comfortable space to return to. At Hello School in Dnipro, Ukraine, for example, large personal lockers and desks with personal storage compartments are part of the school’s commitment to providing comfortable, private environments for children.

The Future Is Secure: Softening the Hard Edge of School Security

As the number of school shootings continues to rise , school security is as big a part of education environments as ever, with some teachers in the US now mandated to lock their classrooms during class, despite the resulting effect on fire safety . Some, like Lisle Elementary School in Illinois, US, provide hidden student safety features such as security camera surveillance, along with exterior and interior doors that lock simultaneously during a lockdown. While the Animo South Los Angeles High School in LA, US, which was rebuilt after a fire, keeps the school setting both fun and safe, surrounding it with a 20-foot-hight bulletproof aluminum fence that ‘sparkles in the sun and glows at night,’ share the architects Brooks + Scarpa.

Creating Positivity and Pride with School Spirit

Bullet-proof fences and security camera networks can improve student safety, but can instead spread the uncomfortable feeling of fear. By using a palette of identifiable color schemes, design motifs, and logos, however, a strong school spirit changes the atmosphere to become more positive and joyful. The Menlo School MAC in Atherton, California, US, for example, flanks its school’s sports gymnasium with retractable bleacher seats and positions a hall of fame trophy cabinet overlooking the arena for the entire school to share its success. UDEM high school’s Maker Space Building in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico, meanwhile, proves success is not just measured in sporting achievement, with perimeter-set shelving showcasing students’ produced objects inside and out.

Using Learning Spaces to Serve the Community

By adding audience seating to school sports team gymnasiums, schools can invite and share their success with the community, spreading positivity to the local high street, as well as school corridors. But as schools are only used for part of the week, by opening up their common areas, they can help the local community more directly. The Community Canvas School in Sawarpada, India, for example, allows its circular central courtyard to be used for community activities such as political campaigns, performances, and temporary health care. Whereas the Copenhagen International School in Denmark closes off classrooms for common areas like the canteen, library, and performance facilities, keeping them open for community events outside school hours.

Educational Social Spaces

Schools teach more than just maths, languages, and science. They’re also where children learn about life: how to talk to one another with empathy, learn from each other with grace, ask for help with humility, and listen with understanding. In short, schools teach how to be a good friend. It’s imperative, therefore, that they provide both the environments and opportunities for children to learn social skills, by being social. 

With many resources now available online, the Stevenson School Library in Del Monte Forest, California, US, found they had an abundance of unused space, so transformed the once quiet library into a multi-use presentation, collaboration, and social space. While Victoria Park Academy in Shenzhen, China, has an area of the school dedicated to social networking, and a timetable with ten minutes of the social recess between each class.

Adaptable: Ready for an Unknown Future

Designing a school with laptop-friendly power sockets in every desk, or even a designated Twitter area, as Victoria Park Academy has, seems like a sensible way to future-product classrooms from the digital path we’re on. But those design considerations are responses to the educational environment we can see already changing around us. What about the more urgent future events we find harder to predict?

Whether we look to examples like Mount Si High School in Washington State, US, which is raised above-ground to protect from flood waters due to its valley location, Reeds Spring Middle School’s tornado-proof, vegetated roof in Missouri, US, or Santa Monica High School’s adaptable classrooms in Malibu, California, US, designed and prepared for the building’s adaptive reuse from the outset, education spaces that consider the uncertain certainties of future events are those that will last the longest.

Learning to Utilize and Conserve Outdoor Spaces

There’s been a huge shift towards biophilic workplaces in the last decade or so. Well before the pandemic we started to realize how important it s for employee well-being to have regular access to green, outdoor space throughout the working day. Schools meanwhile, essentially workplaces for children, are no different. By positioning its collected buildings around a green-topped playground space, the Kincang Modern Pre-School in Shaoxing, China, allows children to playfully discover the natural world in the center of a very urban environment, enclosed and protected from the city. The Belvue School in London, UK, meanwhile, utilized its location aside from woodland by installing two rooms to sit on the edge of the spinney and house unique facilities which allow environmental learning.

Alternative Learning: Collaborative Space

As well as biophilic design, using other contemporary design techniques to create more comfortable, productive, and empathetic workplaces has an obvious correlation with learning space too. Education systems have failed children in the past by assuming everyone learns in the same way – sitting quietly and reading from a blackboard or textbook. Research in educational psychology , however, tells us that providing alternative types of learning improves both the student experience and the results. The Yokohama International School, in Japan, for example, includes diverse ‘open hubs’ that connect classrooms and facilitate collaborative group work, while the John S. McCain III Elementary School in Buckeye, Arizona, US, features environments with multi-dimensional infrastructure, reaching a high degree of flexibility, variety, and collaborative opportunities.

School Design Plan | School Building Design & Architecture | Arcmax Architects

School design plan | school building design & architecture | arcmax architects for school design concepts and styles – what matters in modern day education by arcmax architects and planners.

The idea of how a school looks or must look is usually dismissed by parents as long as it's functional and the quality of education is not being compromised. School design concepts and styles can have a huge impact on the learning of students. That’s the reason Architects and Designers today are rethinking about the ways to create modern schools and educational institutions – putting the students’ experience at the forefront of the designs. 

Some of the elements that should be considered when designing an educational institute include:

Modernizing the Environment

Today, the learning environments that we design are as yet 19th century learning environments - that isn't really what's happening today.

In this century, children are learning in a wide range of ways, they have significantly more access to knowledge at a substantially prior age. So, now the point of focus is how to interpret the information they hold, how to discern, how to collaborate and connect distinctive disciplines that creates a personalized picture of the entire world for them.

Color is Critical

Color is one of the most important factors when it comes to designing and styling any space. When it comes to educational institutions and schools, there are a lot of studies in the U.S. showing the results of how certain colors can over stimulate. There is this sense that you can’t have bright colors that could result in the children being distracted or getting hyperactive.

But when you turn towards Europe, you can find the evidence of students still learning in all those wonderful schools those are saturated with lively color and engaging learning environments.

Access and Circulation

Pathways that allow freedom of circulation around the school are linked to better student outcomes. Consider the corridor width to allow equitable circulation. Accessibility for those with reduced manual dexterity should be considered during the design phase.

Having Outdoor Area within the School Boundaries

Particularly for younger students (Primary Aged Students) having outdoor space is linked to better outcomes. Both outdoor and indoor learning experiences equally important, and the effective teacher accepts this as fact.

Having a private territory of your school creates a personalized learning environment with the instructors moving inside and outside to guide the students and let them have a choice about the learning experience they chose during the day. Not to mention, different children learn in different ways; hence, creating different learning environments within the schools is crucial to make the learning more effective.

During the past two decades, with schools and universities being transformed by the introduction of high fees, the students have started being more assertive about what they expect from their educational institutions; hence, the institutions having to invest significantly more in building the environment, and the designs that enhance the students’ experience at educational institutes. This combined with concerns about health and wellbeing of students has brought a revolution in the way designers and architects thought of spaces used for educational institutes.

The Importance of School Projects

School projects are like the secret ingredients that make education truly exciting. They’re not just tasks; they’re the gateway to an adventurous learning journey. Here’s why they matter so much:

Hands-On Learning

School projects are your passport to a world of doing. They let you get your hands dirty, figuratively and sometimes literally, as you take what you’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to real-life situations.

Critical Thinking Playground

Think of projects as brain workouts. They challenge you to put on your thinking cap, identify problems, and find creative solutions. It’s like mental gymnastics that make your brain stronger.

Creativity Unleashed

When you’re working on a project, you’re not just following rules; you’re an artist creating a masterpiece. Your creativity knows no bounds as you brainstorm, design, and innovate.

Learning That Sticks

Unlike cramming for a test, projects offer a deeper understanding that sticks with you. You remember because you’ve lived it, not just read about it in a book.

In simple words, school projects are your backstage pass to a world of fun learning, creativity, and becoming a problem-solving wizard.

How To Create Your Own Website For A School Project - The Website Architect

• Website Design
• How To Create Your Own Website For A School Project

Websites are a great way to go above and beyond for a school project. If you make a website, you take your assignment to a level, not like any other student. Thankfully for you, websites can be quite cheap and easy to set up if you’re willing to learn and put the time into it. Let’s discuss different kinds of websites you can make, and different ways you can go about making one.

What kind of school project website should you make?

If your school project is open-ended it can be difficult to figure out what kind of website to make. Heres a list of 5 ideas to get you started:

• Create an online portfolio to display your student work. This is a great way to build upon and share existing art or science projects.
• Have a website that walks through the steps of a science experiment that they conducted in class, or share the story behind the experiment.
• Start a school newspaper or literary magazine with student contributors (you’ll want to use WordPress if you’re doing this one).
• A website about a field trip that your class took.
• A website promoting an upcoming event at your school.

For a more comprehensive list see the full list of school website project ideas .

How can I create a simple school project website?

There are plenty of ways you can go about making a website now-a-days, you can use a website builder, code it yourself, or even use a mix of both coding and visual page building. What one you decide to go with can help you choose what platform you want to use to make your website.

Hand-coding your website is a great way to learn a lot and show your dedication to a school project.

Using something like Squarespace is a great way of coming up with something simple to wow your school teacher without having to look at code.

Using something like WordPress can be a great mix between them both code and visual building.

Here’s what it would look like to go about making your website for a school project using those 3 different methods.

Using HTML and CSS to hand-code your website

• This method will take 4-12 days to learn the basics of HTML and CSS and setup your website
• It will take some technical skills to learn the 2 programming languages
• Will result in a website that might not look that professional, but will demonstrate your skills and dedication. If you want your HTML website online with a live URL, you have to buy a domain and hosting. I recommend using BlueHost for hosting as its the cheapest and the most beginner-friendly platform. Otherwise, your website will work locally off of a USB or file folder. if opened through a web browser.

HTML and CSS are the basic programming languages of any website. When I first learned HTML and CSS, it was a very fun rewarding experience. In fact, I had learned it to make a website about the Peregrine Falcon for a school project myself.

To get started with learning HTML and CSS to build your first website, you first have to get a text editor. Notepad++ is probably the most popular to use when coding websites, but Sublime Text 3 is my personal favourite because of how nice it looks.

After getting an editor, let’s set up the website files.

• Make a folder on your desktop and call it whatever you want.
• Inside the folder, right-click and then click New > Rich Text Document (that’s on windows mac might be slightly different).
• Then rename the file to index.html , it might have a popup asking are you sure about something and just click yes to confirm the name change.
• Lastly, open that new HTML file in your new text editor so you can get started coding.

Next, you’ll want to start with a video. Videos are great for visual learners and following alongside when coding. Attentively, you can read through W3 Schools tutorial page by page, clicking the “next” button at the bottom to learn about HTML and CSS at your own pace.

Here’s a great video to get you started. If you want to search for something different you can just search for “html css tutorial” in YouTube.

After learning the basics and trying out some HTML code on your own, you should begin to plan out and wireframe your website . This is a mistake I always made when I first started, programming before a plan. If you do this your website will turn out ugly and nonsensical – your choice!

After a solid plan and wireframe begin making your website. This will take a lot of time and practice so be patient.

Here’s what my first website looked like when I was first learning:

Using SquareSpace to make your website

• This method will take 2-4 days to learn Squarespace and set up the website
• Squarespace doesn’t require any technical skills to make a website, but if you want the final website to be accessible by a live URL you’ll have to pay monthly (starting at $12 a month). Otherwise, you can use the 15-day free trial and sign into your website to show it off privately.
• Will result in a professional and clean looking website

If you’re looking to set up a basic website as quickly as possible for a few bucks, Squarespace should be your #1.

To get started with SquareSpace make an account and then select the template/theme you want to start with.

Getting good with Squarespace is really about just using it for a couple of hours to get used to where everything is and how it works.

If you do choose to go with Squarespace, keep in mind its limited in the different kind of functionality your website can have. For example, do you want popups? Too bad! Want a slider? Not happening.

Do remember that Squarespace is only as good as text, images and some basic e-commerce features if needed, so keep that in mind when thinking about going with Squarespace.

Using WordPress to make your website

• This method will take 4-8 days to learn and set up the website
• WordPress itself is free but it will require you to pay for a domain and hosting. I recommend using BlueHost for hosting as its the cheapest and the most beginner-friendly platform. Or you can run it locally with XAMPP .
• Will result in a professional-looking blog (or nice content-focused website if you put time into it). A great platform for blogging, having authors with articles

WordPress is the industry standard for making websites. This website (The Website Architect) is built using WordPress. With WordPress, you can make almost any website you can imagine without knowing any programming knowledge. With programming knowledge, you can take your WordPress website that much further.

There are 2 types of WordPress, wordpress.org , and wordpress.com . WordPress.com is kind of like Squarespace, with limited functionality, and pricing plans. WordPress.org is a free framework you can download (for free) to build your own super custom and limitless website .

You can use wordpress.com as an alternative to Squarespace for making a simple website, but if you use wordpress.org’s framework you website can be without limitations.

To start with wordpress.org you’ll need to buy a website domain and hosting to get your website online. It’s usually around $15 a year for a domain, and $3-$20 a month for hosting.

Once you get your hosting, you can install the WordPress framework with a click of a button in the hosting tools.

After WordPress is installed go to Appearance > Themes and pick from one of the free theme templates. From there, it’s a matter of creating pages and posts to make the website you want. You can even install plugins which are little widgets or mini-programs that make your website have even more functionality and use.

If you don’t want to build and code your own WordPress them you can use a professionally built theme or browse around for some at Envato Market’s ThemeForest is the single best place to find the best WordPress themes .

WordPress is quite big so it will take time to learn and fully explore. WordPress being so popular, 9 times out of 10 if you google how to do something specific in WordPress there will be plenty of resources to help you out.

55+ Real-World Project-Based Learning Ideas for All Ages and Interests

Find and implement solutions to real-world problems.

Project-based learning is a hot topic in many schools these days, as educators work to make learning more meaningful for students.

But not just any project fits into this concept. Learn more about strong project-based learning ideas, and find examples for any age or passion.

What is project-based learning?

Project-based learning (PBL) uses real-world projects and student-directed activities to build knowledge and skills.

Design Research and Passion Project Ideas for High School Students

By Blake Williford

Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction from Texas A&M University

5 minute read

Are you a creative thinker who's passionate about innovation and enjoys thinking scientifically about people's needs? If so, a career in design might be the perfect fit for you and now’s a great time to explore the world of design and what it means to be a designer.

What Is Design?

First of all, what is design? Design is a discipline that is both applied science and applied art. It is a process in which we combine a scientific understanding of people, their needs, and their values with an artistic perspective to make products and services that are simple and intuitive to use, while also being aesthetically pleasing.

One definition I like to use for design is:

Bringing technology to people in a way that they can love and understand

In other words, design is the process that bridges the gap between technology and the products and services that seamlessly fit into our lives. It is a very valuable discipline that can help companies be much more successful–and, oftentimes, more ethical–in a very competitive free market. 

What Are the Different Types of Design?

There are many subdisciplines and focus areas within design, such as:

Industrial design, also often called product design

The design of physical (and sometimes digital) products

Graphic design 

The design of graphics, brands, and marketing material that communicate the value offered to the market

User Experience (UX) design

The design of the holistic "user experience" of digital (and sometimes physical) products - how consumers feel when they utilize and interact with a product

User Interface (UI) design 

A subset of UX that focused on usability - the interactive design elements consumers will engage with

5 Design Project Ideas 

Let’s delve into some exciting project ideas suitable for high school students who are eager to embark on exciting design projects. These projects will not only help develop your design skills but also provide valuable insights into the design process.

1. Design a personal portfolio

One of the most accessible design projects is to create your own personal website showcasing your work! This can include anything you are passionate about including art, photography, creative writing, videos, etc. Today it is easier than ever to get started creating your own website. While you can use tools such as Wix or Squarespace to do most of the work for you, it can be more fun and you may learn much more by creating your own website from scratch!

Design page layouts using Figma or Adobe Creative Suite

Download a simple code editor (e.g., Visual Studio Code ) and begin coding the website

Leverage a CSS framework (e.g., Materialize ) to make the website responsive and make the CSS easier. Responsive websites offer a better user experience for people visiting the site on different devices.

Find a hosting solution for the website and upload the files -  GitHub is free for students and we have a showcasing on GitHub guide you can read to get started!

Skills learned

UX/UI design, Graphic Design, Web development, HTML, CSS, JS

2. Design an app

Have you ever felt the need for an app but it doesn't exist? Why not create it? There have never been more resources to design and develop your own app. It's helpful to start off with something simple that fulfills a basic need. What is something in your daily life that annoys or bothers you? Could a design solution such as an app help?

Interview some friends/family to see if they also have the same problem or to help you identify other problems

Design some wireframes for the app using Figma

Create an interactive prototype using Figma

Test the prototype with friends/family to see if it is adequately solving the problem

Design high-fidelity mockups using Figma

UX/UI research, UX/UI design, Graphic Design

3. Design a brand

Branding is an extremely important aspect of helping businesses become successful. A brand is a unique identity that makes a company stand out in a sea of sameness. But a brand is more than just a logo and colors. A brand captures a feeling, an association that you want people to have with the company. Consider a personal project and building a small business around it - What would you call the business? What color scheme and logo would it have? What would you want people to think of when they think of your business?

Create a mood board with photography, colors, and associations you want to have for the brand

Sketch out some logo designs on paper

Refine the logos with a tool like Figma or Adobe Illustrator

Create a color scheme that includes a primary brand color and secondary colors

Choose typography (fonts) that work well for the brand

Graphic Design, Brand Design

4. Design a physical product

Perhaps you have an idea for a physical product? Are there any physical products you wish you had that would make your life easier? The design of physical products is called industrial design or product design. With today's 3D printing technology, it is easier than ever to prototype physical products and test them with people. The process typically begins with sketching.

Sketch out some potential designs on paper

Choose the most promising design and bring it into a 3D modeling tool like Solidworks or Blender

Use a 3D printer to print a plastic prototype of the product

Test the prototype with friends and family to see if it is functional

Industrial Design, Product Design, 3D modeling, UI/UX Design

5. Redesign an existing website, app, or product

Let's face it, there are already a lot of design solutions out there! But almost everything has room for improvement. If you are struggling to come up with an idea, consider an app, product, or service you use regularly and how it might be improved. Is there something frustrating about it? Could it be more simple? Is it missing a feature you wish you had?

Do an assessment of what could be improved about the website, app, or product. What would make it more usable or simple?

Redesign it using the relevant tools

Test the new design solution with friends and family

Industrial Design, Product Design, UI/UX Design

Q&A: Designer Helen Pierce on what makes a school "green" -- and why it matters

Posted: November 12, 2023 | Last updated: November 12, 2023

Nov. 11—Helen Pierce has spent her life creating buildings for the future. As the design director of LPA, an architectural firm based out of California and Texas, Pierce has focused on bringing sustainability to the forefront of her designs, incorporating off-grid, net-zero and green infrastructure to 57 educational projects throughout her three-decade career.

That includes the designing of Menlo Park's TIDE Academy — a science, technology and engineering-focused school in the Sequoia Union High School District that won a top award for its architecture earlier this year — among other award-winning projects spanning the Bay Area, including the Los Medanos College student union and kinesiology complex in Pittsburg, and the Agnew K-12 Campus in San Jose. Pierce spoke with the Bay Area News Group about why this type of design matters, and how green design can benefit students throughout the region.

Pierce's answers were edited for clarity and brevity:

Q: What is a green school?

A: Essentially, it's a school that uses less resources and is more resilient than a traditional school. They're built with environmentally friendly materials and (are) more energy efficient, so less costly to operate on a daily basis. And, they're more resilient for both day-to-day and for long-term use, especially when considering climate change, natural disasters, and other factors.

A green school would also fit into and support community resiliency and community health and wellness. Are the schools walkable or bikeable? Do they create shade? Do they utilize outdoor space, so we're not overbuilding and creating more things that have to be dredged from the earth? The thing is, it's getting warmer. We all feel it. So, we're thinking a lot about having outdoor spaces to supplement what we build, and how to create the spaces that will continue to be habitable and provide shade.

Q: What does that look like in practice?

A: We designed a school, TIDE Academy in Menlo Park, that sits fairly close to the bay. If you look at the models of the bay, it's going to continue to rise with climate change, and storm surges will start to have effects on the flood zone. At that site, we actually raised the school — the entire site — by three feet as a resiliency measure, helping to lift it out of the flood zone. We raised all the primary electrical equipment another three feet so that if it floods, the school can get back into operation that much more quickly.

Another example is the Agnews K-12 campus, which combines grades pre-K through 12 on a 55-acre site in San Jose. The elementary, middle and high school are all built on one campus and are in very close proximity. Designing the campus gave us a unique opportunity to rethink how we build schools, and how to build them in a cohesive progression from elementary to middle to high school. How do you have a student go to the same campus for 13 years, but still feel like they're progressing? To do that, we designed each school so they relate to each other architecturally, but differ in terms of the growing maturity of the design.

We really liked the idea that resources could be shared. A student from the middle school could go to a library shared with the high school, and interact with the students there. Staff could collaborate between grade levels. And across all three schools, resources could be made available to everyone. We were able to build less because we were sharing resources more, including the site itself.

There's also more of the traditional green school concepts: we focused a lot on energy efficiency, working with the landscape and with daylight, the orientation of the building and where the windows were, and planting trees. We made the spaces between the buildings pleasant, habitable and supportive of wildlife, along with providing shade.

Q: How much do these types of schools cost — and how are districts paying for them?

A: I'm not an expert on this, but I know most of it comes from bonds — meaning, it comes from the community.

In terms of how much it costs, that's a broad range. In very gross numbers, the Agnews campus is about 400,000 square feet of construction and it cost around $400 million. That's a 55-acre site with a new elementary school, a new middle school, and a new high school, plus all of the athletic fields and everything.

But today, we're seeing the per square foot costs for new construction in the Bay Area to be very close to $800 to $1,000 a square foot, depending on the type of project it is. And then if we're modernizing a school — say, building new finishes, new ceilings, new lightings — we touch the building very lightly, and that could be just a couple hundred dollars per square foot.

Q: Why does this type of building matter?

A: I think that frankly, if you're an architect today, you have to be interested in these things. We all see the effects of what happens when we aren't — and no one can claim ignorance of not knowing the effects of building and occupying the environment anymore.

We know that where students learn matters. Spaces that are adequately sized, adequately lit, and have access to daylight and views all support student learning and teacher teaching. As you can imagine, if you worked in a cramped space with no windows, you probably wouldn't show up to work very often. But if you worked in a beautiful office with lots of windows and great views, you'd come into work every day, right? You'd enjoy it, and you'd feel more like a human being.

At a very basic level, the spaces that we all love and enjoy as human beings, that support all our needs as human beings, are the spaces you're going to learn and teach best in. You're more likely to show up every day, not get sick, and thrive.
