COOPC2001 Community Impact Project 1
This unit offers the opportunity for students to collaborate with a community partner in a real-life project. The host organisation identifies an issue or challenge it is facing and student participants research and propose creative and sustainable solutions. You will work in a group of students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, collaborating with a community partner and an academic lead, employing design thinking methodologies. These methodologies are iterative problem-solving processes of discovery, ideation, and experimentation that employ design-based techniques to gain insight and yield innovative solutions for virtually any type of organisational or business challenge. The conclusion of the project sees you showcase their fully developed concepts that have the potential to be carried forward into an implementation phase.
