Free online learning opportunity for older adults

The Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Strathclyde and the Faculty of Engineering are teaming up to offer a unique eight-week project starting in June 2021 for budding product designers to uncover and develop their creative talents. This free online ‘Design for All’ pilot course will be led by an experienced Design Manufacturing Tutor and include input from University design students who will act as guides and mentors throughout. You will be guided through the key stages of design including research, identifying customer needs, concept design, making prototypes, testing, marketing, and selling. 

No experience is necessary, costs of all materials will be included and it will delivered (via Zoom) in a supportive and friendly way.

If you are interested in hearing more about this exciting opportunity and how you could be involved, come along to an Information Session on Wednesday 26th May 2021 from 1-2pm via Zoom to learn more about how the project will work and ask any questions you may have. Please email Gemma.Gilliland@strath.ac.uk with your full name and contact details to register your interest.
