Fitness Design Competition

By Kathryn Hall Director of Art & Design and Technology Dulwich College (Singapore)

In October Dulwich College (Singapore) hosted an online design competition, challenging students to design new fitness products to improve either wellbeing, physical fitness or safety. We had a wide variety of design ideas finding unique opportunities in different sport genres. Students submitted videos, presentations and posters showing their products along with a company name and logo. The standard of design work was incredibly high!

“The overall quality of the design work from every student who entered this competition was incredible ”

Congratulations to Sincere, Teng Siang and Marcus from Sri KDU International School for their winning entry to the Design & Technology (online) Fitness Design competition.
