The Impact: <p>Without active management of equipment systems, inefficiencies in setup, maintenance, and use persist over time. Optimised practices extend equipment lifespan, improve workflow efficiency, and reduce overall resource use.</p>
Details
Consider whole-process energy demand when planning workshop practice, recognising and protecting low-energy manual or hybrid processes where these are pedagogically and practically valuable.
Workshop fosters a shared culture of care and accountability, where: students understand the impact of misuse, responsibility for equipment is collective
Evidence of: reduction of damage/misuse over time, improved maintenance outcomes
Care is embedded in teaching and workshop culture
