Details of Design Challenge 2020-21

Purpose

The competition is looking for a design that can act as a physical barrier, serving the purpose of social distancing, while

maintaining the dynamics (i.e. form of communication, lunchtime set up, fluid exchange of ideas etc.) of the original

learning environment.

Create a sustainable design idea that makes your school life normal again, while keeping the social distance guidelines in place.

1. It should, for example, allow you to: spend your lunchtime with your classmates, eating, laughing or playing; have team competitions like sports or musical events; have normal social interactions with your classmates and teachers

2. A design that can eventually be manufacture and distributed on a large scale by our partners, helping to address the issue of social distancing in a sustainable way

3. A design that is beyond what is available in the market right now
