AngloDutch Product Design Venture

Mr Cartwright and Mr Jones from Liverpool College DT Department and staff from Melanchthon School, Rotterdam, Netherlands have embarked on an exciting joint venture to provide a manufactured solution to a brief set by Arcadis, the world's leading company delivering sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions for natural and built assets. The project will run from January to April and Design and Technology students, aged 17 – 18 will be participating (approximately 8 in each country) in 4 teams with 2 English and 2 Dutch students in each. They will visit the Arcadis Office in Warrington or Rotterdam, meet some Arcadians who will share an overview of some of the projects they are involved in.  They will carry out research into Arcadis, create ideas and designs, have several further meetings with Arcadis, and the final design solutions will be manufactured in the Netherlands and in Liverpool. Once manufactured and finished, they will then return to the office and present the product they have made. 

Over the course of the next four months, updates will be posted on the Liverpool College website.
