Hi Eadie,

Fantastic to see your project, well done! 

The NSW Office of Energy and Climate Change has just released the Circular Design Guidelines for the Built Environment which was developed in collaboration with WSP Waste Management and Circular Economy Team. One of the key recommendations for selecting materials and suppliers is to look for lifecycle ecolabels such as GECA's. ????✔️

Warm regards,

Chelsea McLean

Great concept eadie. 

Love the sense of community you are striving for in here. Feel free to reach out to https://www.aila.org.au/ they would be a perfect match for this project. 

What are some of your big challenges that you now have? List two or three that we can help you with and focus our energy towards.

Looking forward to seeing your MDP develop.

Just sharing this message (below) that was sent to me to share out directly with you, so that you have it in your thread as well. 

Great work.

Can I suggest a look at the regenerative design and development space 

This focuses on first building capacity within the designer on right thinking action and knowledge in line with the natural evolutionary system of life, I think that if there was anything you could provide these students it would be to give them a better opportunity of how to see the world and their place in it

The best course Ive seen/done is https://www.regenerat.es/trp/ and although Regenesis works based on the built environment the system can be used for anything. They have a short few clips on their site that explain it better https://regenesisgroup.com/

Also look into Carol Sanfords work in regenerative business https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLXX6VqWYTg&t=907s

Good morning UpRising. Congratulations on the development of your project. As one of this year's UpRising students, you have been invited to

UpRising @ Stone&Chalk - Program X - Tickets are open now.

Click here to get your ticket. https://events.humanitix.com/uprising-stone-and-chalk

Our big event for this year, UpRising@Stone&Chalk, July 14th Friday 10am to 2pm, and you get first dibs. This will be in the second week of the school holidays. It doesn't mess up your school time and makes it as easy as possible for you to get there. In a cool building, in an amazing place, in the heart of innovation in NSW.

There is a limit of 50 attendees, with the first invitations going to you, the UpRising students of 2023. If there are any spaces left by the end of this week, we will create a second round of invitations that you can pass onto a classmate from your design class. Please complete this survey if you haven't already to help us know exactly what you want to get from this opportunity. Teachers are most welcome to the event as well.

Congratulations Eadie on your fantastic efforts with your MDP, it has been great to be part of your design journey this year.

It would be fantastic if you could share an image of your final design. If you get a chance to drop one in as an update of your post, that would be awesome. Good luck with the submission of your project and adding any finishing touches this week, I am sure you will do great. 

We hope that you have learned a lot from being part of this year's UpRising and are excited to take your creativity and design thinking into the next steps in life, (which is exactly what business and industry are looking for.) Teachers, thank you for helping your students make the leap across the gap, from classroom to industry.

Business leaders, likewise it has been fantastic to connect with you, thank you for all of the support you have given to these young designers and helping to grow the innovation ecosystem in NSW. Breaking down the silos, together.
