HeroesToo 呈獻
創意設計比賽:
疫情展創意
HeroesToo是香港一家本地的慈善機構。我們將於2020-21年度推出“疫情下，創意設計比賽(Creative Ideas in Pandemic) ”。比賽對象為香港中小學的學生。透過這次社交距離的設計計劃我們希望能啟發學生的創新和創意思維。
參賽隊伍需要提交一個可持續發展的計劃書，主題為:
在遵守社交距離的準則下如可令自己的校園生活恢復正常?
例如“室中室(Room within a room) ”的解決方案，在不違反社交距離的規則下在教室裏進行日常的社交活動。
在這次計劃中我們希望鼓勵學生跳出傳統的思維，讓他們在疫情下集體提出新的觀點和解決方案來創建一個安全的教育環境。HeroesToo創始人Raymond Yap先生說過: “一個想法，可能會大規模生產，從而造福整個社會” 。
他補充說：”我們藉助這次倡議，希望學生們也能加深對時事的了解，並相信他們可以採取行動來解決當下的問題。“
2020-21年度創意設計比賽詳情
Purpose
The competition is looking for a design that can act as a physical barrier, serving the purpose of social distancing, while
maintaining the dynamics (i.e. form of communication, lunchtime set up, fluid exchange of ideas etc.) of the original
learning environment.
Create a sustainable design idea that makes your school life normal again, while keeping the social distance guidelines in place.
It should, for example, allow you to: spend your lunchtime with your classmates, eating, laughing or playing; have team competitions like sports or musical events; have normal social interactions with your classmates and teachers
A design that can eventually be manufacture and distributed on a large scale by our partners, helping to address the issue of social distancing in a sustainable way
A design that is beyond what is available in the market right now
“Can you imagine, if you win, hundreds of thousands of people will be using your invention?!”
So let’s put our thinking caps on and get this problem solved!
