Save the date! Join us for a deep dive into the new VCE Product Design & Technologies study design
These FREE student challenges have been produced by DATTA Vic . They aim to engage your students in speculative design – work which uses design (products, services and scenarios) to address challenges and opportunities of the future. They’re a great way to get your students using the design process and thinking about what preferred futures means to them.

DATTA Vic partnered with RMIT and Monash University to create these Careers in Design & Engineering toolkits. Perfect for highlighting career pathways, promoting VCE subjects and exploring professional practice.
