Innoventure is a Grade 7 design project that blends innovation with enterprise. Students collaborate with either a real person or an interactive digital persona to design and iterate a series of pocketable multitools. The project introduces CAD and CAM while exploring how function and iteration drive the creation of purposeful, user-centred products.

You will take part in Innoventure, a design challenge that combines innovation and enterprise. Working with a real person or an interactive digital persona, you will investigate their wants and needs to design a pocketable multitool that fits their lifestyle.

Using CAD and CAM technologies, you will develop your ideas through sketching, 3D modelling, prototyping, and iteration. Your goal is to create a functional, user-centred product that is both practical and appealing.

In the final stage, you will pitch your product to others—sharing your design journey, explaining your choices, and showing how your multitool solves your client’s problem creatively and effectively.
