Student design workshop

At Bridge 21, the students tested out and

gave us their expert user reviews on the latest classroom

furniture

Students spent 15 minutes at each of the 4 testing stations where they

undertook a set task such as origami, a quiz or drawing.

They then evaluated how the furniture met their needs

Accelerometers were used to scientifically measure their movements while working

Students then went through the moving education brief design

process to create their own ideas for a more active classroom

Collect, Curate, Create and Critique

COLLECT

Students explored how the furniture and its layout can

indicate the type of movement that will happen in a room

What type of activities happen in your classroom?

Is your classroom easily adaptable to all of these activities?

Students discussed the pro’s and con’s of movement in the

classroom with a moving debate

Students were introduced to the latest classroom products by

Industrial designers themselves including the designers

of ‘Optimo’

CURATE

moving education student design brief:

Each group chose a challenge of designing furniture, a media device, a

teaching style or a community exchange to enhance movement

CREATE

Following the group brainstorm,they began to sketch and build 3d prototypes of their

idea

CRITIQUE

Students presented their concepts to the group and reflected on what

they learned in the workshop

moving educationwould like to thank Bridge 21 for hosting us and the students for being wonderful participants

Keep on moving!
