Adult School Course: "Make a Better Mouse Trap: Product Invention"

I’m a longtime Westfield resident, Industrial Designer and Design Educator.

You know all the things you know should be fixed and improved.

I will be teaching a class for those who have ideas to make our lives easier or better.

The course starts you thinking how to do it then gets you to making early models and how to

take it further. We will discuss competition, design, drawing and model making and presentation. Plus I will lead you to protection and marketing information.

It's all at The Adult School of Westfield.
Newly reopened and managed by the Chatham Adult School which runs the class as before from Westfield High School on Monday Nights beginning
February 27.

Make a Better Mouse Trap: Product Invention & Design:
You’ve got an idea to fix a real problem but it needs to get out of your head to do any good. Hone your idea to a viable product utilizing market and ergonomic research, group brainstorming, sketching, rendering and building rough models and first level prototypes. Work toward marketable presentations touching on Engineering and Design software and IP protection. Basic materials provided but students will need to obtain their own materials for their models.
