UID8 Design Camp 2017

The Institute of Technology Carlow is running a Design Camp, supported by the HEA, from the 10th to the 14th July 2017 from 10am to 3pm.

The camp will introduce students to how designers solve problems creatively.  What if you could design your live, your locality and your environment the way you think it could be?

The design camp is open to 3rd and 4th year secondary school students. Places are limited, so book early. The cost is €50 per student for 5 days.  All participants will receive a design camp pack and refreshments. Prizes will be awarded over the week.

This is a great opportunity for secondary school students to visit IT Carlow's Design Department to, experience first-hand how the design process works in a fun environment. The design camp assumes no prior experience in design, except a curious and inquisitive mind. We welcome all students not just to creative ones - we believe you can learn how to design.

Prof Will Hopkins

Prof Will Hopkins came to sport science via maths and physics (BSc), Russian (BA), cell biology (MSc), neurophysiology (PhD) and school-teaching (briefly!). He is interested in factors affecting sports performance and in the design and presentation of research generally. He was a visiting scholar at the Australian Institute of Sport for the last decade of its golden era (2001-12). He now has  part-time professorial apppointments with Victoria University in Melbourne and the Defense Institute in Oslo. He has his own journal site, Sportscience (sportsci.org), devoted to research resources and conference reports. He is best known for rejecting statistical significance and replacing it with a clinically and practically more relevant method of inference based on uncertainty in the magnitude of effects. He lives in Auckland NZ sometimes in semi-retirement!

Hosted by a number of colleges around the country, the Engineering Your Future programme provides a week of exposure to the various engineering disciplines. Attending students gain a meaningful, practical insight into engineering at third level and as a career - interacting with lecturers and graduates, taking part in workshops and meeting engineers during industry visits.

The programme, supported by STEPS and hosted by a number of third-level institutes throughout Ireland, offers Transition Year students the opportunity to:

• Gain a better understanding of the skills required of engineers and the career opportunities available to qualified engineers.
• Learn about the disciplines and technologies making up the exciting world of engineering.
• Meet engineers at various stages in their careers and hear about their experiences.
• Gain an in-depth understanding of the diversity of engineering at third level and its subject content.
• Experience what engineers do on a daily basis through industry visits.

IT Carlow host transition year students from surrounding secondary schools who have expressed an interest in Engineering as a 3rd level course and as IT Carlow as a destination. The students are exposed to a range of activities which showcase in a fun way some of the things that relate to Engineering as a career. They also get the benefit of seeing the facilities available at IT Carlow and get first-hand experience of student life as a third-level student at IT Carlow.

Wexford Campus School of Art and Design (IT Carlow) continues its collaboration with Wexford General Hospital in this exhibition of 60 new Design and Artworks by the 1st year honours degree students of the Art and Visual Communications programmes.  These new works are displayed in the Emergency Department and Concourse, Link Corridor and Consultation Rooms at Wexford General Hospital. The collaboration between the Hospital and the School of Art and Design was first initiated by the Community Development Department, Tusla Child & Family Agency Wexford and this is now our third collaborative project.

This new body of work from the students of Wexford Campus School of Art and Design explores a variety of processes and techniques with the predominant and recurring theme of the circle. 

‘We started with playful processes of experimenting with accidental collage, paintings and pointillist drawings. These spontaneous designs and studies became the basis for larger mandala type images of repeating concentric circles, and worlds within worlds. Our processes later developed into cyanotypes (blue prints), and monotypes (printing technique) coloured transfers or frottage, to making small woodblock prints on Chinese paper and photographic inverts. The circle developed into eclipses and the solar system, and onto distant imaginary lands, wonderful landscapes where we imagined and created protectors with healing energies.”
