Design Process Agamograph Activity

Help your students see the Design Process come to life with this creative, hands-on agamograph project. As students color, fold, and tilt their papers, they watch two different images appear, mirroring how the Design Process reveals new ideas and solutions each time we look from a different angle.

This engaging STEAM project blends art, engineering, and reflection, making abstract concepts like Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test feel concrete and approachable for Grades 3–5. A perfect fit for STEAM labs, makerspaces, classroom integration, or a thoughtful extension activity.
