Stanley Park High School
Year 10 students from Stanley Park High School worked with RCA Design Products graduate and Helen Hamlyn Research Associate for a day exploring solutions to eating and aging. The group were given 'emphatic' tools to enable them to understand some of the issues facing older people with diseases such as Parkinsons, Macular Degeneration and Osteoarthritis. Once the problems had been identified the groups began thinking about how crockery and cutlery could be adapted and developed to make eating with the sysptoms of these diseases easier. From drawings the students developed prototypes that explored simple solutions to common problems, many of the students also addressed the desirability of the products to sophisticated consumers as well as issues of cost and production.
