Have you ever considered how the design of hand-held products can impact our experience with them?
Our assessment of 'ergonomics and semantics' delves into this topic.
Hand-held product design has become increasingly complex with modern advancements in manufacturing processes and technology.
To create successful products, it's crucial to understand how people react and interact with physical objects.
Our assessment challenges students to explore the world of physical form by designing a simple hand-held product.
This project teaches students how designers use drawing and low-fidelity prototypes to generate ideas, seek feedback on their designs to improve them, and emphasise the importance of documenting the design process.
Join us to discover the relationship between form and function in hand-held products!

Today our little green thumbs from Year 3 got to reap what they sowed when they harvested and tasted some delicious radishes and snowpeas from the garden they planted earlier this term. 🐞👩🌾🌿🧑🏽🌾🌱
They also got to plant some hanging pots of Nasturtiums and Marigolds, which will blossom into a nice feature over the garden's white picket fence. 🪴🌼🍃🌷

Canterbury Secondary Students Volunteer With Rosies
Canterbury Secondary Students Volunteer With Rosies
Last night, Canterbury Secondary students Sienna, Emerson, Ava and Bridie teamed up in 📍 Beenleigh, where they met the @rosiesqld team. 🌹🌹🌹
The students helped prepare and serve food, distributed blankets and sanitary items and conversed with the community's homeless, at-risk or socially isolated people. 🍲🧃🧴🪥
A recent report uncovered the number of homeless has soared more than 20 per cent in just five years — almost threefold the growth nationally. 📈😟
So, if you would like more information about the important work Rosies does or would like to donate to their cause or volunteer your time, please visit their website. https://rosies.org.au 🌐💌
