welcome to concept2creation

Welcome to the Concept2Creation (C2C) website - a website aimed at providing C2C students and teachers with the tools required to make the most of their C2C experience. The website is a dynamic and interactive site that will grow with the C2C Program. The website will enable students and teachers to communicate with industry partners and other schools and to download templates and tools.

What is C2C?

The C2C Program has been developed by the NAMIG (Northern Advanced Manufacturing Industry Group) Inc to provide a way for schools and industry in Northern Adelaide to work together to provide students with industry experience and assistance as they create their own C2C projects.

Through a suite of programs and activities, C2C introduces a “product life cycle” approach to science, maths and technology education helping schools and students to develop the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of advanced manufacturing processes and possibilities through a problem based learning approach.

Students and industry work together to solve a problem that requires a product or service. Assisted by industry partners students take the product from the concept, through research and development, production and quality assurance to the final creation and marketing. Along the way they will use the science, maths and technological knowledge they learn in their school subjects.

The key success factors of these projects include total commitment and effective communication from all partners, plus a thorough induction of students through a range of workshops and visits to industry.

What is NAMIG?

NAMIG is the Northern Advanced Manufacturing Industry Group. It was formed as a consortium of local industries, government and education providers to introduce Advanced Manufacturing pathways to students. It is currently funded jointly by the Australian and South Australian governments with some additional funding from industry partners.

What is Advanced Manufacturing?

There is considerable scope for students to learn and explore a broad range of industries if Advanced Manufacturing is to be defined as:

• the utilisation of enabling technologies, incorporating design and business process innovation to deliver high value-added processes and products in ways that are novel and competitive.

The Australian economy is striving to excel in the ‘knowledge’ rather than the ‘labour’ component of industry and a shrinking percentage of the jobs will require untrained labour. Therefore, the introduction to Advanced Manufacturing that is provided by NAMIG presents a great opportunity for students to become engaged in an authentic approach to learning.
