Students fix for fashion has Future Space in a Frenzy
Loughborough University London students were winners in making fashion more sustainable at the recent Future Space Hack. Students spent an immersive day building teams, generating and analysing new ideas and pitching their solutions to a panel of expert judges from The Trampery’s Sustainable Fashion Accelerator.
The winning teams solution looked at innovative ways to trade, swap and recycle clothes. The winning teams prize was a slap-up meal at a local eatery.
Senior Futures Consultant Kadeza Begum said:
"Finding new solutions to big problems is core to the experience here at Future Space. Our Hacks offer ways for our students to understand the innovation process and build their skills.”
The Hack was a great opportunity for students to build their network and also hear from startup companies working in sustainable fashion. The judging panel came from the Trampery’s growing network of spaces that support creative companies and the creative industries.
Future Space Hacks are open to all students, no matter what they are studying. They are a great opportunity to build skills, create and test new ideas, gain experience and network with entrepreneurs and organisations striving to develop new solutions to big problems. Taking part contributes to students Personal Best London record and the skills developed support anyone undertaking the Collaborative Project or any other Collaborate activities.
Future Space will be running a hack in late March with students from DePaul University, Chicago and West Ham United Community Foundation. You can sign up via Handshake.
