Brief / Abstract:

Graphene, the wonder material of the 21st century, is central to hoped-for paradigm shifts in near future technologies. Around the world, major corporations and industries are looking at graphene to deliver the 'next big thing'. Design is needed to give a human-centred view of the potential changes that people will experience when such technologies emerge from the science lab and into everyday lives. Imagine that one of the major corporations has commissioned your team to propose a concept product that showcases the graphene-technology. The product could be a potential  commercial product, but may start out as a 'wow' product to grab attention and interest.

​

Project descriptions:

This is an opportunity to practise technology-driven product innovation with detailed industrial design realisation in collaboration with scientists.

​

This would require an in-depth technology investigation and exploration, followed by extensive idea searching and consulting with the scientists for product design and development. 

The journey:

​

At the beginning, we met with the scientists at NUS Centre for Advanced 2D Materials, and were given a tour of the laboratories and explained the basics of Graphene.

The main bulk of this project is in-depth studies of the characteristics and properties of Graphene, and subsequently broad ideation.

The concept:

Convenient on-the-go heating of baby food with a rechargeable device.
