They’re a great way to get your students using the design process and thinking about what preferred futures means to them.

There are five challenge videos and a downloadable template. The output could be a drawing, poster, prototype or even a website – how you run the challenge is up to you!

We’d love to share your students’ work, so please send the designs to Laura at pl@datta.vic.edu.au and we’ll post them on the website.*
