Students who work on these challenges will work in teams to research and scope the potential unmet needs of a wide range of target audiences. Students will work under a series of broad challenge themes, and with the resources of network partners that they drew on in Year 2. Mentors and coaches will work alongside academics for each of the student teams, and will facilitate students in seeking out transdisciplinary ideas and experiences to inform their design solutions. Designing “something completely new” will require students to generate and sift ideas, seek out appropriate testing grounds, and develop robust and flexible methods of working in an iterative, agile and responsive manner.
The aims of this unit are:
Students successfully completing the unit will be able to:
The project is intended to promote self-directed and collaborative learning, under guidance of an academic supervisor(s) (plus any relevant external third-parties).
Summative assessment
A Portfolio (100%) to include:
- 60% - a group produced resource documenting the design process (NB this could include prototypes, diagrams, photos as well as evidence of work with those they are designing for) - 20% - an individual account of the research and idea generation for unmet needs - 20% - an individual reflective critique on the design processILO: 1-6
Formative assessment
- Group presentations (10 minutes) at two points throughout the project to receive formative feedback.
