The Problem
My research showed modern urban areas and lifestyles deprive children of 'free-range' outdoor play, one of the most valuable experiences of childhood learning. Additionally, many children feel jealous about the attention their parent’s give to electronic devices. Mild adverse childhood experiences like this often lead to a higher likelihood of mental instability.

The Proposal
The Green Workbench is a social enterprise working across the UK. It Operates by selling a community workbench facility aimed at children to local councils with basic and safe tools for playful creations and experiences. Regular workshops allow children to learn through play by constructing natural playpark features with sustainable lumber.

It was a privilege to participate in this RSA brief in my third year of university. My work was shortlisted, and I was interviewed by a panel of industry experts. This experience not only sharpened my design and presentation skills but also showed me the importance of pushing my creative boundaries. My hard work payed off, with a final shortlist. 🏆
