This project not only enriched the campus environment but also reflects the CCDA curriculum's educational philosophy, which emphasizes the integration of practice and creative thinking.

International Business Summer Camp Program Design:

In the International Business Summer Camp organized by CIS last August, Teacher Jade guided students to complete two highly representative product design projects:

New Technology Electric Toothbrush Design:

The students designed an electric toothbrush called "New Technology Teteeth," developing the product's features from user personas and journey maps to comprehensive product functionality. Through the design of Bluetooth connectivity, automatic reminders, and a user guide, the students gained a deep understanding of the importance of combining user experience with technology.

Multi-functional Tent Design:

The students designed a multi-functional tent called "Firefly Citenty," focused on enhancing the outdoor camping experience. The project covered structural design, heat dissipation functions, and the practical application of solar panels, cultivating the students' market insights and innovative thinking.
