This project was developed in collaboration with the Public Design Lab of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design from 2019 to 2021

This research project captured the design processes and products as children and teenagers made visual research and utilized the three I’s Design Thinking Framework for Children (Inquire > Ideate > Improvise).

Adults gain understanding of how youngsters perceive possibilities and problems in their environment and ways to solve them.

Youngsters develop qualities of a researcher, designer and change-maker through sharpening their senses toward the wonders of nature and adopting inclusive public design’s way of thinking and practice in a real-life setting (in Shing Mun Country Park).

Outcomes and Evaluation

The PPD project has guided over 1000 children to learn the skills to: •Research (through first-hand perceptions and with content knowledge provided) •Identify problems (based on sensory observation) •Solve problem (using an iterative process of Inquiry, Ideation and improvisation) •Reflect (on our stewardship of the interdependence) of natural and man-made environment).
