APP IT!

Work in a team to design and produce the next great app of the future.

How many apps do you have on your phone right now? We might hate to admit it, but technology helps us do pretty much everything these days, and apps help to package those services up into appealing, easy-to-use parcels.

Centring a Design Thinking framework, students will form teams to develop an app or website concept, which will be digitised using an app or web development platform.

What makes a good app? Is it sustainable? Responsive? Intelligent? How will it make the world a better place?

Tackle this in a single day, or spread the fun across a term as an ongoing project for your students.
