The Everyday Product Redesign Challenge at Design Victoria 2025
Bike models from the Everyday Product Redesign Challenge at Family Day, May 2025.
On Sunday, May 4, we hosted the Everyday Product Redesign Challenge at Design Victoria's first Family Day, at the Rotunda. Kids took on an everyday object, the bicycle, and started with the person who would ride it.
Many designed for someone else: “This bike is for my little brother because he can't ride yet.” “This one is for a person who brings groceries in the rain.” “Mine's for my grandma because she lives by the beach.”
Worksheets asked about frame shape, terrain, lights, brakes and storage. Then they built models from pipe cleaners, cardboard and plasticine on about fifty 3D-printed bike frames we made for the day. Foldable frames, snow-ready tires and storage pods for pets, plants and popsicles all made the table.
