The document outlines a project for a cohort of 8th grade students selected for their giftedness in product design. Students will conduct primary research on outdoor activities and existing products, then create a specification and mood boards to develop an original, eco-friendly garment for a specific function. The goal is to develop the students' skills in creativity, self-belief, risk-taking, energy, and leadership. The project aims to prepare students for the future by trying something new, as traditional education may not equip them for new job sectors focused on innovation and a low-carbon economy.
