DESIGN VENTURA COMPETITION

Design Ventura Competition is a competition that has been running for the past 12 years, aimed at individuals to shortlist and showcase pupils who have the qualities needed for any entrepreneur - like endeavour. It is a national competition and it consists of shortlisting all the entered schools down to 10 schools, and then to an overall winner. It was made clear that only 1 team out of the whole of Year 9 would be entered by Tiffin, and this selection process initially included the shortlisting of 5 teams. Our first task was to create a product that would meet a required brief, and we developed the idea of Quadible - a portable set of square shapes that could be arranged and stuck together by magnets to create anything a user desired. By no means, was the development of this initial idea easy and it took a lot of organisation of google meets outside of school hours to get the product ready for the deadline.
