The Kids' Design Challenge provides a unique opportunity for primary students to participate in a real-life design task of importance to the community. Students research a topical problem or issue and generate innovative solutions. They show initiative, make decisions, manage time and resources. They are creative, flexible and innovative.

Following outstanding success in 2005, KDC will offer two challenges in 2006:
Stage 2: Built Environment Challenge Proposing improvements to the local environment, working with the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.  Start Start Date: Term 2		Stage 2/3: Pushcart Challenge Exploring aspects of energy, movement & vehicle design, working with NRMA Motoring Services and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering (ATSE). New in 2006  Start Date: Week 8, Term 1
