Inspired by Industry RAF, Inspired by Industry: RAF This context allows students to explore temporary shelter design for various situations, from humanitarian aid to pop-up market stalls and pet carriers. The project encourages material exploration, testing for properties like insulation and waterproofing, and considering collapsible structures and mechanical systems. Students can create physical or CAD prototypes, with testing methods ranging from virtual FEA analysis to hands-on team challenges like building and water-testing shelters. The project supports individual and group work, fostering problem-solving and engineering skills while allowing creative freedom in designing functional, adaptable shelters. Log in...
Inspired by Industry Dinosuit, Inspired by Industry: Dinosuit This context has been created to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore point of sale, display and exhibition material through the development of a promotional display items for Dinosuit.

Inspired by Industry Mindful Chef, Inspired by Industry: Mindful Chef This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the design of modern recipe boxes that are so popular with households. This has the opportunity to be based around cooking and nutrition or through packaging design. The outcomes are likely to be varied. If taking a cooking and nutrition approach the students are likely to produce final meal ideas that can, in turn be broken down into individual ingredients that may (in theory) be packaged up and sent to customers. Whilst...
Inspired by Industry PTC Onshape, Inspired by Industry: PTC Onshape This context has been created to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore user centred design and innovation through the development of a robot that can improve the quality of life. The prototype outcome(s) will need to be realised in a form that can be tested and evaluated. This might simple be a mock-up with exposed parts, wires etc. to test functionality, or it could be that the prototype resembles a more commercial ‘finished’ outcome. Alternatively, CAD might be used to create parts and assemblies that...
