Assessing Design Innovation: Tasks

This set of tasks presents students with challenges encouraging them to be creative and imaginative in responding to a design brief. Each project can be used as an assessment activity and students are given six to seven hours to complete the task. Each brief clearly explains the scenario, what is required and what the students should have achieved by the end of the given time period.

The tasks are:

  • Bend it like Beckham
  • Body storage
  • A day on the beach
  • FruiTease
  • Gimme the money
  • Reconstruct
  • Transform

The tasks were designed by the Technology Education Research Unit (TERU) at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
