This design brief outlines a project to create a solution for safely reaching items stored on the top shelf of a client's pantry cupboard. The client and others in the home currently need to stand on chairs to access baking goods on the highest shelf, which is unsafe. The design must be functional for different people to use, easily accessible, and not impact the overall function or take up much space in the cupboard. It should match or be hidden from the rest of the pantry and be safely packed away when not in use. The solution will be made using recycled materials like wood and tools already in the home.

This document summarizes a design residency project focused on reducing bulky waste, such as furniture, ending up in landfill. Each year in the UK, 1.6 million tonnes of bulky waste is thrown out, with 42% being furniture. Currently, re-use rates for items like sofas are only around 17%. The residency brought together designers, waste managers, and other stakeholders to explore how to increase re-use rates and reduce bulky waste ending up in landfill. Over 10 days, the designers investigated materials streams and systems through visits to waste facilities and a teardown of a discarded sofa. Their insights informed recommendations for designers, manufacturers, waste managers, policymakers, and local authorities to better support

Agile manufacturing
The document discusses agile manufacturing, which aims to rapidly respond to changing customer demand through organizational flexibility. It defines agile manufacturing and why it is needed given globalization and customization trends. The key is determining customer needs quickly and responding rapidly through design, production, and volume/mix changes. Transitioning requires new conceptual frameworks and overcoming dependencies on economies of scale. Real-world examples show how companies like automakers implemented agile practices like distributed mini-plants and customizable production.

‘I can’t believe how much we have changed in a relatively
short time. From being an inward-looking manufacturer, we
became a customer-focused “design and make” operation.
Now we are an integrated service provider. Most of our new
business comes from the partnerships we have formed with
design houses. In effect, we design products jointly with spe-
cialist design houses that have a well-known brand, and offer
them a complete service of manufacturing and distribution.
In many ways we are now a “business-to-business” com-
pany rather than a “business-to-consumer” company.’ ( Jim
Thompson, CEO, Concept Design Services (CDS))
CDS had become one of Europe’s most profitable home-
ware businesses. Originally founded in the 1960s, the com-
pany had moved from making industrial mouldings, mainly
in the Aerospace sector, and some cheap ‘homeware’ items
such as buckets and dustpans, sold under the ‘Focus’ brand
name, to making very high quality (expensive) stylish home-
wares with a high ‘design value’.
The move into ‘Concept’ products
The move into higher margin homeware had been mas-
terminded by Linda Fleet, CDS’s Marketing Director, who
had previously worked for a large retail chain of paint and
wallpaper retailers. ‘ Experience in the decorative products
industry had taught me the importance of fashion and prod-
uct development, even in mundane products such as paint.
Premium-priced colours and new textures would become
popular for one or two years, supported by appropriate
promotion and features in lifestyle magazines. The manu-
facturers and retailers who created and supported these
products were dramatically more profitable than those who
simply provided standard ranges. Instinctively, I felt that
this must also apply to homeware. We decided to develop
a whole coordinated range of such items, and to open up a
new distribution network for them to serve up-market stores,
kitchen equipment and specialty retailers. Within a year of
launching our first new range of kitchen homeware under
the ‘Concept’ brand name, we had over 3,000 retail out-
lets signed up, provided with point-of-sale display facilities.
Press coverage generated an enormous interest which was
re inforced by the product placement on several TV cookery
and ‘life style’ programmes. We soon developed an entirely
new market and within two years ‘concept’ products were
providing over 75 per cent of our revenue and 90 per cent
of our profits. The price realization of Concept products is
many times higher than for the Focus range. To keep ahead
we launched new ranges at regular intervals.’

How to Turbocharge your Creative Processes
According to new research from Nuxeo, retailers and brands are under growing pressure to be more innovative, deliver a better customer experience, and launch the latest trending products to market faster. More than half (53%) of respondents said that when a new market trend emerges, they would want their favoured retailer to make that product available within one month or less, and 54% would change to a competitor if the overall digital experice didn't meet their expectations.
How should product companies and retailers respond?
Accelerating product development has proven difficult for many of the world’s largest companies. The biggest problem holding back these efforts is the tangled web of processes and workflows.

Design Brief
This design brief outlines a project to create a solution for safely reaching items stored on the top shelf of a client's pantry cupboard. The client and others in the home currently need to stand on chairs to access baking goods on the highest shelf, which is unsafe. The design must be functional for different people to use, easily accessible, and not impact the overall function or take up much space in the cupboard. It should match or be hidden from the rest of the pantry and be safely packed away when not in use. The solution will be made using recycled materials like wood and tools already in the home.

These activities help children learn fundamental concepts about the natural and human-made world. The document also provides examples of open-ended questions parents can ask children and lists various STEM-related books, materials, apps, games, and construction/experimentation resources parents can use at home with their children to support STEM learning and skills like problem-solving.
Building a foundation: Unplugged coding activity
This activity introduces preschool students to the concepts of persistence and algorithms through an unplugged coding activity where they build a structure. Students will plan a sequence to build a foundation and draw or write down the steps. They will work in small groups with limited supplies to construct a foundation that can hold a textbook for over 10 seconds, experiencing challenges that require persistence. The activity teaches students to decompose large tasks into smaller steps and arrange the steps in logical order, helping them understand sequencing and the process of achieving an outcome through trial and error.
Simple machines teaching idea
1) The lesson teaches students about simple machines by having them design and build machines into their treehouse designs using levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, and screws.
2) Students will explore the practical uses of simple machines and generate ideas about concepts like force and motion.
3) The teaching activity has students start with a treehouse blueprint, learn about simple machines from an app, then use loose parts to design and build simple machines into their treehouse designs to accomplish tasks like getting into the treehouse or transporting food.
Simple machines app review
Simple Machines is an app that allows kids to interact with 6 simple machines: levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheel and axles, and screws. For each machine, users can alter variables and see how the machine reacts. The app covers concepts of force, motion, inputs/outputs, and mechanical advantage through interactive activities involving each machine. It has potential to stimulate design ideas if parents engage children in questions about observations and what they are learning.
Book teaching idea
This document outlines a teaching activity where students will design their ultimate treehouse. The students will read a book about treehouses to spark ideas and discuss materials. They will brainstorm designs through drawings and blueprints, exploring the process of designing and constructing a project. By immersing themselves in treehouse design using STEM practices like problem solving and engineering, the students will gain an understanding of design processes and using ideas in the real world.
Book review
Everything you need for a Treehouse is a picture book that highlights the wonder and magic of treehouses and the imaginative adventures children can have in them. It details different treehouse designs, going through the planning process with blueprints, how many people will use it, and how to access the treehouse. The book brings readers back to their childhood desire for a treehouse through poetic text and whimsical illustrations. It is ideal for sharing with preschoolers to spark creative thinking and future builders.
Explanation of artefacts according to stem practices
The document discusses four artifacts that are part of a teaching sequence to help preschool students learn STEM concepts through building a treehouse project. Each artifact focuses on persistence, generating ideas, and building/designing skills. They allow students to develop theories, learn terminology, and see how innovation works in the real world. The artifacts include a book, parent brochure, coding activity, and app that all feature construction experiences and enable young children to explore STEM concepts through play.

Tamara Hope has applied for a graduate teaching position. She has over 3 years of experience working in a preschool and before/after school care setting. She is qualified to teach early childhood through to secondary subjects including languages, mathematics, science, and the arts. Tamara discusses examples from her teaching placements where she designed lessons differentiated for diverse learners and modified tasks to engage students with specific needs. She focuses on understanding how students learn, using data to inform planning, and creating a safe learning environment. Tamara aims to continue developing her skills through collaboration with colleagues.
Smart goals
This teacher conducted a self-assessment and identified strengths and areas for development in their science teaching. Their strengths included effective communication, safety practices, assessing learning, and engaging in professional development. Areas for development were incorporating ICT, supporting students with disabilities, and including the cross-curriculum priority of Asia engagement. The teacher outlined three goals to address these areas: 1) Incorporate Asia engagement authentically in lessons, 2) Improve use of ICT strategies regularly in lessons, and 3) Connect with the community and learn strategies to support students with physical disabilities in active science lessons.
Introductory statement
Tamara Hope will be doing her professional teaching placement at Jerrabomberra Primary School from May 7th to June 29th, where she will gradually take on more teaching responsibilities under the guidance of Mrs. Blazevska. Tamara is currently completing her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education at the University of Canberra, and works as a preschool teacher assistant and in before/after school care. She is excited to work with the students in Mrs. Blazevska's classroom and looks forward to getting to know the parents and students.
J's rubric
This document outlines a student's science skills and understanding in the key areas of Earth and space sciences, science as a human endeavor, and science inquiry skills. It assesses the student as having an informed discussion of how natural processes and human activity cause changes to Earth's surface, being able to identify when science is used to understand the effects of actions, and following instructions to identify investigable questions and make plausible predictions based on prior knowledge.
Edited Evidence of student work progression - J
1) The student was able to actively participate in lessons about erosion and its effects on the Earth's surface. This included conducting investigations on how water impacts sand and soil.
2) The student demonstrated understanding of key science concepts by explaining how different landscapes affected erosion. She recognized that plants minimized erosion the most by absorbing water before minerals could be taken away.
3) The student designed an investigation strategy to minimize erosion and showed developing skills in identifying variables and forming investigable questions based on prior lessons.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
