Jess’s legal studies class was equally impressed with his knowledge of the law and how a patent works and why it is so powerful in protecting peoples ideas. Some of the senior students delivered their Major Design Project ideas to Ric and he was so impressed with some of their ideas that he has offered to help write provisional patents to protect their intellectual property. He brings his ideas with charismatic humour and engages students through the process of identifying problems and inventing solutions. He is most known for his epic court battle with Tech giant Microsoft, in which he was compensated approximately half a billion dollars after it was deemed they stole intellectual property from his anti piracy invention from the 90’s. Our second guest speaker was Ric Ricardson who is one of Australia’s most successful inventors. He was well received by students and the stories he brings are inspirational for students learning more about project development and problem solving using the design process. Some of the projects he is currently working on are the interior design of the new supersonic Jet funded by Richard Branson, The flight board (a stand up paddleboard that is powered by an electric motor), a sensory system for fighter jets along with many more. Nathan has volunteered time each year to come back and talk to our Tobias students and young inventors about the design process. Katapult Design is a leading global product design and development consultancy with studios in Byron Bay, Sydney and Melbourne, Australia and a dynamic team of highly experienced, passionate industrial designers, product engineers and creative thinkers. Our first speaker on Wednesday was Nathan Pollock, the founder of Katapult Designs. Place one 2-by-4-inch piece of 3-foot wood on the platform. These should be spaced 1 foot from each other in the center of the platform. Draw two rectangles where the catapult legs will stand. Product design, engineering and product development by Katapult Design Sculpt is distinctive range of shears and loppers for Cyclone Industries. Students from Years 8-12 were lucky enough this week to get two very special guest speakers to talk to students about design and innovation. Use saw to cut out the rectangle, which will serve as the catapult platform.
