Sliderz development
Over 6,000 students in 150 schools across Great Britain took part in the Design Ventura 2013, the Design Museum’s flagship design and enterprise competition.
Students were challenged to work in teams of 4-6 to answer the brief of designing a new product for the Design Museum shop to be sold for around £10.
This is the story of the process of realising the winning concept into a real saleable product.
It all started with the announcement of the winners, Weald of Kent Grammar School on the night of the Celebration and Awards Event.
