Modular Study Pod

Creating a portable, modular study pod that slides onto a desk to create an instant, semi-private study space. This will help increase student productivity and results as they are more focused. Additionally, these can be folded down and packed away for when the school does not need them and then set up, during exam or assessment periods.

A very interesting idea Cioara. Love the practicality and mobility of your design. Allowing library spaces to become more customised to meet individual's needs. What are two or three things you need assistance with?

Looking forward to seeing your idea develop.

Open-plan layouts in contemporary interiors have increased the importance of carefully addressing issues around acoustics. This design demonstrates a thoughtful approach to both visual and acoustic privacy for focused work while also responding to the needs of a diverse range of neurodiverse students through the flexibility to add or remove the screen as required.

I have a question regarding how the screening element is securely fixed to the desk to ensure stability? Additionally, it would be useful to consider where the screen could be stored when folded. Could this be integrated into the overall design so that the storage solution forms a seamless part of the furniture system?

REWOVEN, a sustainable garment made from recycled waste

Every second 63.75 tons of food and material are discarded, yet very little of this waste is repurposed in meaningful, long-term solutions such as garment design. For my 2026 Major Project, I aim to raise awareness of sustainability issues, by creating a eco-friendly statement garment from bio-materials and upcycled fabric - tackling the issue of food and textile waste. Supporting my project, I am seeking advice on developing recipes for biodegradable material, utilising natural ingredients to provide structure for my garment as well as guidance on textile techniques, using recycled waste such as food, plastic, and fabric to create textures.

Stair Energy Generator (SEG)

Over 45 countries experience ten or more power outages per year, with Bangladesh experiencing 248 a year, and over 70% of consumed energy per year is either Coal, Oil, or natural gas. The world needs cleaner energy, which can be easily built/installed in any country. This has led me to design a product that can capture wasted energy through the action of traversing a set of stairs and store it for later use.To assist in the development of this project, advice/support in energy generation (piezoelectric, electromagnetic generator, electric motor, Triboelectric Nanogenerators), Material research, electronics (energy storage), and Mechanical Engineering.

Water Dissolvable PLU Apple Stickers

Tens of billions of PLU fruit stickers are discarded each year, contributing to non-biodegradable waste and increasing landfill pressure in NSW. Currently, 100% of fruit sold in major supermarkets uses plastic-coated, non-compostable stickers.This project is proposing a Sustainable, water-dissolvable PLU sticker based on existing Pink Lady apple branding. The sticker will need to maintain strong adhesion, withstand moisture and transport conditions, and function effectively at checkout.This solution aims to reduce everyday plastic waste at its source while maintaining supermarket practicality.I am seeking support in processes and materials that will allow for functionality of this product.
