Out of the Box Upcycling Project

In this project students are tasked with designing a household product out of waste cardboard TV packaging.

This project is based on a real industry brief by an international TV manufacturer, a global contest that challenged contestants to design innovative new objects for the home that could be made by re-purposing cardboard TV packaging.

This seven lesson project covers:

♦ Introduction to cardboard waste and the brief - factors and innovative solutions to minimise waste. How can we better use waste?

♦ Ideation using the SCAMPER technique - Ideation and initial sketching. Worksheet provided.

♦ Advanced sketching techniques: isometric drawing - Which advanced sketching techniques do designers use?

♦ Planning and constructing ideas using shape nets - How could someone else construct my idea? Resource sheets provided.

This project does not require the use of specialist classrooms and cardboard could be substituted with paper and scissors if necessary. This project can also be set as remote learning.
