Authentic Problem-Solving
All projects are tied to real-world challenges, promoting relevance and engagement.
Hands-On Experimentation
Specialised studios provide environments for tangible exploration and creation.
Dynamic Ideation
Collaborative sessions that balance expansive brainstorming with focused synthesis to generate diverse ideas, then critically refine them, fostering creativity grounded in sound research
Prototyping
Rapid creation of low-fidelity models to test and refine ideas is central to the approaches used.
Critique and Feedback
Regular peer and expert reviews in studio settings, are integral to the learning process.
Reflective Practice
Continuous reflection on process and outcomes is encouraged to deepen learning and improve future iterations.
Performance and Reflection
We go beyond regular assessment by evaluating not only the end results but the journey as well. Our approach actively engages both educators and learners in the assessment process.
Furthermore, we prioritise fundamental learning objectives, recognising their importance over mere quantitative metrics. This holistic perspective on performance and reflection enriches the educational experience, creating a pathway for comprehensive growth and achievement.
