We want to inspire students to follow a career in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM).
Designability is occasionally able to support work experience placements for secondary school students and participation in design and technology courses, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate project support.
We believe in inspiring students as early as possible to think about how good design can change lives for the better. We are especially proud that several secondary school students who have come to Designability for work experience have gone on to study applicable degrees with a real passion for creating products for good.
Our partnership with both the University of Bath and the University of the West of England includes supporting engineering and physics undergraduates with their design and technology projects. We are passionate about the benefits of guiding students through our person centred design process, to support their understanding of disabled people and the challenges that they would face day-to-day. Undergraduates who have worked with us have helped us design and prototype products such as a head support for individuals with poor neck strength and a potential redesign of the Wizzybug.
In addition, our researchers supervise and support doctoral training programmes with a number of academic partners, including the University of Bath and the University of Ulster.
