The digital story a Paintbrush Inspired by a Carrot was created for Educational Applications of Media (EDCI 56600). In this story I tell a narrative about me using the Design Process and inspirations from plant and animal structures to create a paintbrush for a boy with severe cerebral palsy. The narrative is used in conjunction with Next Generation Science Standards unit on plant and animal structures to teach students how they can be inspired by these structures to create and invent solutions to their problems. The narrative also teaches the Design Process. See the storyboard for more information.
