Product Design Students Want to Build For You

Next semester G9 design students will have the opportunity to design and build products for real clients in the school – you.
If you or your teaching spaces have any needs such as furniture, teaching materials, learning aids, games, etc. please let me know in the survey link below. This is a great opportunity for students to meet with teachers or your students to put design thinking into practice.

Some examples of possible products:

– KG outdoor mud kitchen
– Indoor rainy day games
– Quiet reading nook
– Book storage/display

At this stage we’re collecting ideas, so if you put something down there is no obligation to go ahead with it.

Some of you may have filled out this survey last semester. If so no need to do it again.
