Technological advancements are accelerating change across industries and a STEM-focused curriculum supports students to get ahead of these shifts, not just keep pace with them. Investing in STEM-based education is so important to Autodesk that we have teamed up with <a href=\"https:\/\/weareprintlab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PrintLab<\/a>\u2014an online platform for 3D lesson plans and projects\u2014to develop an annual design challenge that will help prepare students for future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rules for last school year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeablechallenge.com\/\">make:able <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.makeablechallenge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">challenge<\/a> were simple: to make a product or prototype with accessible design that improves the day-to-day life of someone who struggles with mobility in their hands using either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinkercad.com\/\">Autodesk <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinkercad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tinkercad<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autodesk<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/overview\"> Fusion 360<\/a>. Participants in the challenge explored what it means for objects to be designed by, with, and for people with disabilities.&nbsp;They are also learning how to solve problems, integrate new 3D printing technologies, and manufacture products through a design-thinking process. Students in the challenge utilize empathetic design at the center of their work, applying their creativity to helping actual humans with their daily struggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving supported hundreds of schools with 3D printing curricula, we have witnessed firsthand some amazing student talent across the globe,\u201d says PrintLab co-founder Jason Yeung. \u201cIt is our belief that this talent should expand outside of the classroom and be put to use on real-world challenges that have a positive impact on society. Make:able offers a complete framework for schools to achieve this and we\u2019re very excited to showcase how students can be at the forefront of digital and additive manufacturing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Winner of the make:able Design <\/strong>Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 150 teams around the globe participated in this accessibility design challenge using Autodesk software. Teachers could access a wide library of lesson plans to support their students\u2019 journies, along with tutorials and other resources that served as inspiration for the students themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results? Students designed a wide range of innovative products, such as wheelchair accessories, writing aids, bottle and jar openers, adapted scissors, pill dispensers, instrument holders, eating devices, hand sanitizer assistants, seat belt assists, grips for household products (such as hairdryers and toothbrushes), and grabbing devices. Students brought their ideas to life while simultaneously learning industry-relevant design and engineering skills to help promote accessibility in design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/learn-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/copley-high-writing-aid-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"Empathetic Product Design\" class=\"wp-image-344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/learn-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/copley-high-writing-aid-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/learn-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/copley-high-writing-aid-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/learn-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/copley-high-writing-aid-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/learn-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/copley-high-writing-aid-355x200.jpg 355w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/learn-lab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/156\/copley-high-writing-aid.jpg 1436w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Writing aid from student at Copley High School<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven Parkinson, who collaborated on behalf of Autodesk to develop this accessible design challenge with PrintLab, did so to equip students with design and engineering skills and to create a platform for students to express their creativity. \u201cStudents have produced an array of innovative ideas that genuinely contribute toward making a better world,\u201d says Parkinson. \u201cThe make:able challenge has allowed students to learn new tools, develop their existing design and making skills, and apply all of this within a human-centered mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Design<\/strong> for Accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tinkercad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autodesk Tinkercad<\/a>, a free, web-based software, is basically a starting point for students interested in design and engineering.
