About the event
We Make
Meggie is the founder of We Make and has spend the last 24 years working in education including primary school teaching and operating a Martial Arts school. Meggie has a passion for designing curriculum and helping to make complex problems manageable for her students. We Make specialises in combining sustainable projects with community building. Maker Marketeers is where Sustainability meets Entrepreneurship. Over the 4 week course, students will transform landfill-bound materials into unique, sellable products while learning design thinking, product development, and marketing. Each week focuses on different aspects of creating and selling their products, culminating in a market day where kids showcase and "sell" their creations.
Week 1- 10th August: Intro to Design Thinking & the Landfill Problem Students will get a crash course in design thinking as they try to tackle one of Earth's biggest challenges - how to reduce the number of items heading to the landfill. Students will be encouraged to use this process to create a product that minimizes waste.
