Opening at the Powerhouse today, Shape 2019 features 35 outstanding design projects from HSC students
Opening at the Powerhouse today, Shape 2019 features 35 outstanding design projects by Design and Technology, Industrial Technology and Textiles and Design students from the 2019 HSC.
NSW Education Standards Authority Chief Executive Officer Paul Martin said that the future is looking bright given the impressive selection of HSC talent now on display at this year’s Shape exhibition.
“It is incredible to see such creative solutions to real world problems emerge from this group of students.
“From a prototype for an indoor compost system, a hydro generator for remote locations to swimwear that alerts the wearer to UV overexposure and an offset food smoker, students have developed truly remarkable solutions,” Mr Martin said.
Powerhouse Chief Executive Lisa Havilah said that the partnership with NESA to produce Shape each year is a great source of pride - and allows the talent of the next generation of designers in NSW to be celebrated.
“Shape 2019 offers a glimpse into the future of design and innovation as the ingenuity and creativity of the young people of NSW is showcased,” Lisa Havilah said.
The innovative works on display include:
The exhibition closes on Sunday, 3 May. Visit the Powerhouse website for more information.
