This is a real-world STEM program applying the Human Centred Design Thinking Process of Engage – Define – Skills – Ideate – Prototype – Present to guide students through the day.
Using local materials from Bartlett Industrial Textile Product Manufacturing, students work in teams to redesign and prototype model canvas shelters to respond to a local humanitarian disaster caused by bushfire.
Session 1:
Students engage through topic introduction to humanitarian disasters, empathise by completing a practical tent construction challenge in teams and then define the best way to approach their design brief.
Session 2:
Students join organised workshops and ideate using interactive collaboration tools to research environments, assess new materials and their properties and then prototype actual scale model disaster shelter solutions.
Session 3:
Students finalise their prototypes and then present their scenarios and model designs to the class for evaluation and feedback.
