DV2023-24 Winning Product- Colour Countdown

The Design Ventura 2023-24 winners are The Piggott School with their design Colour Countdown, a game inspired by I Spy, but based around colours. Race the clock and engage with the environment around you.

The A3 design sheets submitted to the competition show how the students came up with their idea. They have a clear and consistant brand for their product which they have used throughout the sheets. Each sheet also clearly shows a different step in their process; what there idea is and who it is for, prototyping and testing the product and final design.

The team competed against over 16,000 students from 310 schools across the UK. With their entry, the Piggott School earned a place in the top 10 shortlisted schools. As one of the shortlisted schools, they were invited to pitch their design idea to a panel of judges on in March 2024. After much deliberation, the judges decided they should be the winners of Design Ventura 2023-24. You can watch this video to find out more about what happens at pitching day.

The winning team were awarded with the Design Ventura trophy at the Celebration Event. All top ten shortlisted products are exhibited at the Design Ventura exhibition at the Design Museum.

Following the Celebration Event, the student team worked with design agency Beta Design Office to develop their Design Ventura 2023-24 winning product. The first product development meeting with the designers took place at the designers studio in London.

The winning product is set to be launched in January 2025.
