Report - VCE Top Designs

Great news from the Design faculty! 

Two of our students from last year were selected for the prestigious Top Designs exhibition at Melbourne Museum for their work in VCE Product Design and Technology.

Albert Rex was also awarded an independent prize from the exhibition sponsors, Deans Art, for his research and development work in his portfolio. Albert’s client was the City of Melbourne, Industrial Design department and he developed an innovative and creative Wi-Fi hub casing that can be installed throughout the city on the corners of buildings or lamp posts. Albert is now studying Industrial Design at RMIT, so we expect great things from him in the future!

Zac Berra also designed and produced a very innovative solution for surgeons who need to transport their surgical instruments in a safe and hygienic way. His aluminium and 3D printed instrument case holds each item separately and through an internal UV light it kills all bacteria ensuring the equipment is constantly sterilized and ready for use. Zac is currently training with the Navy and also has a deferred placement for engineering at RMIT.

These products are great examples of the type of the complex challenges our students are tackling in Product Design and Technology. The exhibition will run until Sunday 10 July – go check it out!
