1759 SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2025 DESIGNTECHNOLOGY Design Showcase: Year 10 Impress with Inclusive Design Projects This term, our Year 10 Design Technology students took on a meaningful real-world brief: to design inclusive, timber-based products for Kristien, a client living with physical and memory challenges following a childhood accident. Over 12 weeks, students worked through the full design process - research, concept development, prototyping, and evaluation - while keeping Kristien’s needs at the heart of every decision. From one-handed kitchen tools to accessible storage and memory aids, their final designs were both creative and deeply thoughtful. The project culminated in a portfolio presentation to proud parents and their client, where students showcased their prototypes and design thinking. Kristien thanked the class for creating designs that could help not only him but many others with disabilities. He praised their talent and urged them to consider apprenticeships in design and engineering. We are incredibly proud of the care, skill, and professionalism our students showed. They’ve proven that great design isn’t just about making - it’s about making a difference. Follow us @tsc_dt
