Last May 15, the D-STEM team and the Royal College of Art's (RCA) Laura Salisbury and Clair Miller came together to review the ideas of St Catherine's School for Girls students, Over the past few weeks, students were tasked to ideate solutions to real-world challenges via the Discover and Define stages of the workshop, which they presented to the D-STEM team and the RCA tutors.
A wide array of ideas were presented. The D-STEM team and the RCA tutors were impressed by the ideas presented, and the eloquence by which the students presented them. Students were also given hands-on experience in using sewing machines, bundling POF textiles and using a loom in integrating POF yarn into weave structures to provide handworking skills for the prototyping stage. For many students, it was their first time to use POF textiles, and many were inspired by the illuminative effects that the textile could offer for their projects.
