Designing the Future: Sustainable Tech and Grassroots Innovation

 

Students make beehives out of a lightweight composite concrete, increasing honey yield by 40%. Designers generate easily-reproducible tech to customise spectacle frames so people can see with comfort. Humanitarians create reusable sanitary pads for places where women have limited choice.


These are all working inventions from students of Dr Angus Donald Campbell.

 

Join us for our next Tech Tuesday Forum, where Dr Angus Campbell, new Leader of Design Programmes at the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Creative Arts and Industries, will offer a designer’s approach to technology. Using real-world examples, he will showcase innovations using small-scale technologies and will outline how to find mechanisms, policies, and ways to support grassroots innovators, using examples which show the best innovators often emerge out of grassroots action. Dr Angus Campbell will also focus on cross-disciplinary work and how design principles can inform technological development.
