11th and 12th graders at your school are invited to take part in the Estonian Academy of Arts industrial design and digital product design workshop. Students will be able to take part in the design process, engage in cooperation with the Academy of Arts students and find solutions to impossible-seeming problems through design-oriented thinking.
This quick course will give students experience to conceptualize and solve matters that come up in everyday life. It’s a great opportunity for students to put their knowledge to the test and prepare for entrance examinations to institutions of higher education. We invite you to the Academy of Arts or we will pay you a visit ourselves.
