SHOWCASE
Superpets Program Showcase
Students use design thinking to develop solutions for animals with an injury or disease. They explore and integrate a range of technologies to create a wearable, implant or bionic for their patient.
Design Thinking
Students learn how to use the design thinking process to research and empathise with animals with a medical condition. With this knowledge, they are then equipped to ideate, prototype, and pitch a potential solution that incorporates innovative technologies.
Students are introduced to a variety of wearables, implants and bionics that are currently being developed to help save the lives of injured animals. They engage in a range of collaborative, hands-on tasks where they learn about modular electronics, as well as how to use TinkerCAD to create designs that can be 3D printed and laser cut. Students are challenged to implement these skills to transform their idea for a medical solution into a prototype, which they then pitch and demonstrate to their peers.
