Industry Focus

Fibre Science and Technology

Industry Partner

Institute for Frontier Materials and Deakin University combined

This expanded clothing range will include innovative designs for female and male riders in urban environments. Prior to attending the Tech School, students undertake data analysis using TAC fatality data , view Australian artist Piccinni’s perception of what we might look like if built to survive a crash and conduct safety rating assessments of materials through the MotoCAP testing laboratory.

Students will design their own protective garments, calculating abrasion resistance from data provided by IFM on a range of material samples. At the conclusion of the program, students will evaluate their design against innovation, safety, comfort and cost criteria.

Success Criteria

Follow scientific protocols
Collaborate effectively to create Solutions to identified problems
Consider a range of technologies and specialist equipment

Two Day Program Schedule

Prework

3-4 Hours

Prework outlines the work completed in the school classroom prior to visiting the Tech School

Day One

Ideation

On day one at the Tech School, students start by ideating on their prework and begin their prototyping phase of the design thinking process responding to a How Can We statement

Day Two

Prototyping

On day two, students dive deeper into prototyping using the skills gained during their first day onsite at the Tech School

Post Visit

After visiting the Tech School, students review their time spent onsite and reflect on the skills they have learned
