Description

Cooperative Project - Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation

SOINNO Design Education

The Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation (DISI) is organising the SoInno Design Education programme, which introduces social innovation and design thinking into the secondary school education curriculum. It aims to nurture secondary school students as social innovators and complement the STEM education with social and humanitarian dimensions.

The programme provides a design thinking methodology and a set of interactive tools that contribute to a constructive and proactive learning environment for senior secondary students. In light of this, DISI aims to build an inspirational space and surrounding facilities that provide a creative ambience for the programme.

Students kicked off the nine-week project with an extensive research plan and a community engagement plan, which served as guidance to enhance the overall SoInno programme. Students then designed data visualisation tools for the programme with themes such as “Design Making” and “Design Playing”, with the aim of inspiring different thinking methods under the categories of inspiration, ideation and implementation. Other design ideas include a sponsor souvenir, stationery tools, staff/student badges, and a T-shirt and tote bag.

Students also developed an interlocking modular furniture system to inspire creativity in secondary school students. Unlike traditional classrooms, the varied furniture settings allow participants to be innovative and creative, and are fit for design making and design thinking purposes.

Finally, students worked on the spatial design with the idea of providing a flexible and sophisticated learning experience for the participants, taking into consideration circulation and the user perspective. The designs transformed the existing space into a Design Thinking and Making Space, and included an exhibition space and an outdoor area.

The research plans and design concepts developed during this project were licensed to DISI for further development of SoInno Design Education, and the aim is to launch the programme in late 2019.
