What I like most is it is a space we can learn together and develop new ideas I would also describe it as a forgiving space because we are able to experience trial and error without pressure. For summer school, students will be focusing on the following projects: 

  • A water purifying sculpture 

  • A citizen information hub 

  • A robotic rehabilitation assistant 

Vivianne Bakiris, UNSW student said, Day two is going really well, after day one we really understand the approach we are going to take for the projects. This is the first day we are really getting into it and working as a team in developing a solution. 

Nick Matkovic, UNSW student added The water fountain project is about creating a drinking fountain for students to use at the new TEDI-London campus. We are developing a design that is centric on the people that will use it, what the technical constraints are of the area and the water we are pumping into it.”
