The aim of the Student Social Justice Design Problem Solvers Challenge session is to create an opportunity for student teams to tackle real-life design or STEAM challenges in a supportive way. The proposed challenges can be related to an individual situation (e.g. a child with no hands wishing to ride a bike with his friends – taken from the Big Life Fix with Simon Reeve), a local community challenge (e.g how do we determine if the river water is safe to drink?), a state or even global challenge (e.g. Bee-pocalypse).

• Each session will have a different real life design or STEAM challenge to solve. Information about each challenge to be aimed at Year 4 – 10 students
• This session is an opportunity for universities, industry, schools, or community organisations to pose real life design challenges and lead student through the design process to ideate and present possible solutions.

The aim of the DigiDesign Mini-workshop session is for  students/teachers/organisations to share some of their great STEAM and entrepreneurial activities and ideas with students and teachers. What creative and innovative things are you doing in your school / organisation? What do you want to share with others? You could even include videos, experiments, anything that will leave people with ideas to try in their own schools.
