RECYCLING BIN STATION

Rationale and context
The Olympic Village Maintenance Officer has been asked to address the issue of recycling waste in the Food Hall . He/She needs to give a product designer the brief of designing and making a model for a recycling bin station to be placed in the Hall. The students will be introduced to the project by looking at existing products and the range of materials available to them. The students will be divided into teams and will then have to come up with their own solutions to the brief. They will have to justify their choices on the basis of the information given to them. The product will be realized as a scaled model (or full scale) and the findings presented to the rest of the class.

Brief
