[Design and Technology] FW: NEW Technology & Design Movie - An Industrial Designer

[Tran, Lorraine I]

Dear colleagues


 


Welcome back to the 2010 school year. I hope everyone had a safe and
relaxing break. 


To start the year, I have recently found some resources you may find
useful. 


 

 


Enabling green growth: sustainable manufacturing and eco-innovation


 

http://apo.org.au/research/enabling-green-growth-sustainable-manufacturi
ng-and-eco-innovation

 

This is a long document, but there is some really useful information
contained within it. There is a reference to education in eco-innovation
on page 197.

The Futures Channel / Technology & Design

What Does an Industrial Designer Do?

Even though the acronym STEM stands for only four topics (science,
technology, engineering and math), make sure your students know that in
the real world, STEM very often involves Art, Creativity, Design and
Innovation.

Introduce your students to Hilgard Muller, an Industrial Design Manager
working on an entire line of new sport-performance sunglasses, and give
them an inside look at what Industrial Design is all about.

>From the Archives:  When James Cameron Visited Jaime Escalante's
Classroom

Avatar Director James Cameron and legendary math teacher Jaime Escalante
were talking about STEM 20 years ago.  Cameron's message to students
about science, technology, engineering, math, filmmaking and careers
could be repeated word-for-word today and be just as relevant.

The Futures Channel was founded in 1999 with the goal of using new media
technologies to create a channel between the scientists, engineers,
explorers and visionaries who are shaping the future, and today's
learners who will one day succeed them.
