The Challenge
“CONTRIBUTING AT EVERY AGE: DESIGNING FOR INTERGENERATIONAL IMPACT”
The Stanford Center on Longevity Design Challenge is a global competition that encourages students to design products and services to improve well-being across the lifespan. In its sixth year, the Challenge is focused on ideas supporting longevity through multigenerational design.
CHALLENGE GOALS:
Create well-designed, practical solutions that improve well-being across the lifespan by engaging teams of multiple generations
Encourage a new generation of students to become knowledgeable about issues associated with well-being
Provide promising designers with a path to driving change in the world
The basic idea of intergenerational design is to create products and services that work for all ages. All too often, design for longer lives is viewed as accommodating in nature – finding ways to make everyday things work for the “older” population.
The 2018-2019 Challenge instead asks participants to start from the assumption that people of all ages have contributions to make, both as designers and as users. In doing so, we week solutions that maximise physical, mental, and financial resources for individuals and families of any age.
