There is a limitation on the market for multi-surface distance running shoes that are easy to use, accessible, sustainable, functional on a variety of surfaces, not overly complex and costly and durable. A key feature will be 2-tiered retractable spikes. My goal is to use innovative design to solve or reduce these issues for the young modern performance runner, as well as reduce the need to purchase 6 or more surface-specific shoes per year. I need supporters with experience in complex engineering, sustainable, durable, lightweight materials and shoemaking.  Any aid is welcome!

There is a need in my school’s Learning Enrichment Centre for more space and better facilities. I wish to propose a model of a redesigned Learning Enrichment Centre, where students will flourish in their learning and be provided with the resources for various subjects, including life skills units. This would hopefully encourage the school to upgrade the conditions of the Learning Enrichment Centre. My model will be made using foam boards and laser cut pieces for the interior furniture. I am looking for suggestions on possible themes, and safety regulations to incorporate into my design to assist with development. Thanks!

COVID 19 has changed the way we look at health. Mask wearing has become impossible to avoid. It protects both our health and the health of others. My product is a small box that uses a UVC light to kill the bacteria present on the mask. These lights are proven to kill COVID 19 and other airborne illnesses. The pandemic has caused a worldwide shortage in masks, My product provides the ability to reuse your masks safely. In 2020 1.6 Billion masks entered our oceans and poisoned sealife. My mask sanitiser will protect our environment.

This can be achieved through providing easily accessible lockers with a personal address attached, as well as fundamental services such as counselling and practical skills to assist people find connection and belonging in the community.Help me turn homelessness into a situation- not an identity.
