The Project Process
This project was facilitated by Firstborn Creatives, who specialise in working with young people in challenging ways. For this project two guest inventors were invited to speak with the groups about products they had made, and to share examples of best practice, and pitfalls to look out for.
In the following sessions the groups a whole range of methods to bring their ideas to life. They thought about the market for their product, materials needed in production, market research of similar products on the market, and other considerations to ensure their idea was well thought out.
Using photography, video and animation, adverts were made which presented their ideas in a dynamic and exciting ways.
