Designing Our Future

We are delighted to be one of four schools in the country selected to take part in a research project overseen by the School of Education at The University of Limerick and designed by the University of Cambridge in which we are trialling a learning intervention called ‘Designing Our Tomorrow’ or DOT. The DOT initiative is set of learning activities that encourage a different approach to design and problem-solving that focuses on user empathy. The learning activities encourage students to experience another persons perspective to design products for a more inclusive world. 1st year students have already started the learning activities and are thoroughly enjoying the experience.
