Students worked on concept-based assignments in whichever design discipline they wanted to explore through the double diamong design thinking process.
This could mean 3D-printing, animation, creative coding, interactive tinkering, paper-prototyping, etc.

Guiding the individual development of the student finding the right combination between their interests and their creative work using the design cycle.
