ESSENTIAL QUESTION
What problems has the seafood industry solved through innovation?
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING?
Innovation is an idea turned into a working solution
Innovations have a cultural and historical context
Innovations are developed to meet a need
Read Taking the Bait by Kate Potter.
Dene the terms need and innovation,
using the story as a model to explain how
these relate to each other.
Examine the model for design in the
Design Thinking for Educators Toolkit.
Discuss the model as a structure to
help with the process of designing
an innovation.
Break down each aspect of the
model in more depth to ensure
a working understanding.
Record the main ideas on a Google Doc
for students to access easily.
Match each part of the story to the steps
in the design model process.
Find one other story about innovations
in the seafood industry. The SLED TedEd
video and Radio New Zealand audio clip
are a great place to start.
Review understanding of the design
process by using it to speculate on
how the innovation was made a reality.
Choose one of these problems that are
currently facing the seafood industry.
1. A shing solution for the Ross Sea
2. Marine mammal and seabird
entanglement
3. Improving shing efciency
Develop a full understanding of the
problem to ensure possible solutions
address the need.
Use the design process to brainstorm
possible solutions for this problem.
Record your solutions on Post-it notes.
Hold a design day.
Use the Design Thinking for Educators
Toolkit to help plan the structure
of the day.
Choose the best solution from
the brainstorm of solutions.
Prototype the solution.
Create a small scale model of
the solution.
Present the nal design and a summary
of the process using Present.me.
Submit these to Seafood New Zealand
