Students Embrace Creativity at Design Museum: A Recap of Year 10 and 12 Trip

On 1st October, and for the third consecutive year, our Year 10 and 12 students visited the Design Museum. The experience once again proved to be highly engaging and inspiring.

The visit plays a crucial role in preparing Year 10 students for the Design Ventura competition, a national design challenge that tasks students with creating a product for the Design Museum Shop. Seeing the museum in person helps students better understand their audience and the types of products they might improve or redesign.

The day was structured in three key parts. It began with a design workshop, curated by the museum to align with the Ventura competition. Students were assigned a quick design challenge, where they created prototypes and pitched their ideas to the class. Among the standout designs were the 'detachable toothbrush' and the 'tea bag squeezer', both of which sparked lively discussion and creativity.

After lunch, students split into two groups: one group explored the museum shop for a market analysis, while the other visited the free exhibitions. These included a rotating display on Enzo Mari, a renowned furniture designer and modern artist, as well as the Design Maker User space on the top floor, showcasing iconic designs through the years.

With each trip, students walk away with new insights, fresh ideas, and inspiration. For both first-timers and returning students, the Design Museum visit continues to be a highlight of the academic year.
