“Wellbeing” Mini Challenge Winners 2022-23

This year’s Design Ventura Mini Challenge is open to students in years 7 and 8. The theme for this year’s mini challenge is wellbeing, inspired by the Design Museum’s The world of ASMR exhibition.

Students are asked to come up with an idea for a new product for the Design Museum Shop that tackle’s a related issue to wellbeing (e.g: mental health, connecting with others, being active, take notice of our environment etc.). You can see a shortlist of last year’s winning ideas here.

The brief:

Students are asked to submit an image of their product idea and complete a short form. Winners are announced fortnightly on Twitter and Instagram from October 2022 until February 2023 and winning students are sent a prize in the post.
