Redesign how a local market, sports tournament or school fair handles materials and waste. Consider the physical layout alongside borrowing, reuse, return and collection processes.
A circular-system map, event layout and one tested physical touchpoint.
An exhibition or demonstration of the work to an audience, with questions answered and a design rationale given. Each project produces an individual portfolio case-study entry, even when delivery is team-based.
Three 50-minute lessons a week. Checkpoints at weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8 keep every team on track; the teacher guide gives each lesson a starter, a main activity and a plenary.
Lesson-by-lesson sequence illustrative, from the programme arc, until the teacher guide is supplied.
Every lesson in the teacher guide follows the same shape: what students should be able to do by the end, a starter, a main activity, a plenary, and the resources to run it. This one is open to everyone.
Each part has its own criteria and rubric in the teacher guide. Judge students at each checkpoint and at the showcase on the tracker, so the evidence is complete when the project ends.
Students use educator-approved AI tools only. No identifiable personal data about participants is entered into AI tools; consent is obtained for research and publication; AI assistance is recorded alongside students’ own decisions. The teacher guide sets out the tool-approval and data rules for this project.
A 7-day free trial opens one full project for the year group you teach, on screen, and lets you browse the rest, including Nothing Wasted. A Teacher licence unlocks the downloads: $179 a year for all four year groups, or $17.99 a month for the year group you teach. Next term’s project opens four weeks early so you can plan.
A school email address is required to register.
Respond to a brief from a local business, sports club, community group or school initiative. Refresh its visual identity and create a campaign that works within real constraints.
The Year 8 project this one builds on. Reimagine a corner of a school, library, clubhouse or community centre as an inclusive place to meet or relax. Consider movement, comfort, materials and how the space will be shared.
Where this leads in Year 10. Work with users of a clubhouse, cafe courtyard, school or community venue to redesign a shared space and how it operates. Balance inclusion, movement, maintenance, resources and a stated budget.
The Entrepreneur Hub project taught in the same term. Build an authentic personal brand and content portfolio in the creator economy, and grow a real audience.
