This co-creation project aims to explore the process of product design. As part of their Transition Year, students will consider their school, the building and the people using it, to identify a real world problem for their mini business. Giving consideration to the various manufacturing processes and technologies available in a FabLab, working in groups, students will create a product that offers a solution to the identified challenge.
The workshops explore local creative careers, idea generation, design thinking, rapid prototyping, intellectual property rights, digital design, fabrication and manufacturing skills, and the core knowledge to become an entrepreneur.
This project will culminate in a product pitch event held in the school in December where groups will present their product business plan including their research and learning journey.
