在八年级的第一个设计单元中，学生们将学习设计游戏产品，以提高选定目标受众的生活质量。为了设计出成功的游戏产品，学生将学习对现有产品进行初步研究和分析的重要性。

At the start of the unit, students have the chance to look at and play with a variety of products to better think about, discuss and answer key questions:

DESIGN

Experiencing existing play products allows for a more meaningful discussion and analysis. Students are practicing SWOT analysis which later helps them produce original ideas based on their understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the designs already on the market.

Students are also learning to plan their research and build effective surveys which allow them to collect meaningful data. Here is an example of a Design for Play SURVEY.
