University workshops
Over 100 workshops delivered
Since 2005 we have sent Dyson engineers to our partner universities to deliver workshops and challenge students to design and develop prototypes that solve everyday problems.

The workshops
An insight into engineering
Introducing the Dyson design process, our workshops give students an insight into life as an engineer. The students brainstorm, sketch and prototype designs to solve an everyday problem, all within a few hours – competing against their classmates for the best design.
"JDF workshops take a hands-on approach to the Dyson design process – showing how broad thinking, iterative design and making mistakes can result in great, problem-solving ideas."

The outcome
Why is it better?
Solar-powered lamp posts, mobile dentists and skateboard lights that highlight bumps in the road. In our workshops, students draw on their own experiences to produce a wide range of problem-solving prototypes. Each team must clearly explain the problem they are tackling, their idea and why it is better than existing solutions.
