They undertake design, development, and prototyping processes to create their own wearable device or implantable sensor, addressing real-world challenges faced by diverse communities. Drawing inspiration from Bendigo’s growing healthcare innovation sector—including advances in prosthetics, nutrition, and medical robotics—students investigate how technology can improve human health and quality of life. Guided by the Design Thinking Process, each group collaborates to identify authentic problems, develop empathetic solutions, and prototype their ideas using a range of digital and physical technologies.
