Learning about Industrial/Product Design (Manufacturing) Careers gives students an introduction to what individuals in this career field do on the job. This is perfect for a technology, business or marketing class, or a class that focuses on careers. Students learn about the career by viewing a short, teacher-led PowerPoint. Next, they learn more about patents and trademarks as they research these topics on the Internet to answer provided questions. Finally, students work in teams to develop a unique product of their own and build a prototype of the product. The project was created for grades 7-8 but could easily be adapted for older students.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.
