2014-15 My Toy Design Competition

Two Faculty of Design students have won at the 2014-15 My Toy Design Competition jointly organised by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, Hong Kong Toys Council, the Toys Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong Limited, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

Funded by CreateSmart Initiative of Create Hong Kong, HKSAR Government and supported by various local toy companies and associations, the Competition aims at nurturing and recognising new talents for the industry.

Mr Mac, MAK Lok Ming and Ms Iris, LAW Wing Yin, students from THEi’s BA(Hons) Product Design Programme won the highest honors among tough competition - the Gold Awards for the ‘Traditional Toy Category’ and the ‘Toys with Smart Device Apps Category’ respectively. Our students did extremely well and another six of the participating students were chosen as the finalists in these two categories, each winning a valuable chance to be mentored by industry professionals and having a working prototype produced of their design.

THEi’s Product Design Programme runs an elective module named ‘Design for Play’ where students learn to design innovative traditional and technology driven toys.
