The Impact: <p>Without consistent technical input at key decision points, students often commit to inefficient material use, overproduction, or unsuitable processes. Embedding sustainability into day-to-day guidance helps prevent avoidable waste and improves the quality and longevity of outcomes.</p>
Details
Sustainability is reinforced through day-to-day technical guidance, signage, demonstrations, and staff intervention at key decision points such as prototyping, material selection, machining, and assembly.
Students are encouraged to consider material efficiency, durability, disassembly, and waste implications before committing to full production.
