Creative Futures: Second Life | OR1
| The Creative Futures Annual Design Workshop is a teacher education program delivered in partnership between Melbourne Museum and DATTA Vic and funded by Creative Futures. Each year, teachers come together for a unique professional learning experience on using museum collections and design thinking practices to enrich schools-based design education. |
They also contribute to the development of new Design & Technologies classroom resources based on museum collections.
In 2025, DATTA Vic and Melbourne Museum collaborated with our participating teachers to create a Second Life resource which engages students in the circular economy and speculative thinking. This project asks students;
In a future where resources are shared and reused, how can you design a future product that helps someone live better? |
This resource is an editable student portfolio, which offers the structure for a unit of work asking students to speculate about how their communities will live in their preferred future. It can be adapted to suit the student's context. This was based on the groups experience of exploring how Melbourne Museums utilises the design process in creating their programs, as well as a visit to LEGO Star Wars: The Exhibition. The resource is in the form of a student folio and includes a rubric, timeline and activities relating to all steps of the design process.
