Everyday Redesign Challenge

What they are actually learning.

Your child picks something in your house that does not work well and redesigns it properly. Investigate, design, test, iterate. They interview the people who use it, find the root cause rather than the annoying symptom, then prototype a fix and see whether it survives being used.

• Critical Thinking: Root cause analysis, getting past the symptom to the actual problem
• Systems Thinking: Seeing how the parts of a household routine connect to each other
• Design Thinking: Investigating, designing, testing, then iterating on what failed
• Communication: Interviewing the people who use it and presenting the proposed fix
• Life Skills: Real home management and organisation, improved by them
