The next fortnight promises to be a whirlwind of activity at Otago Polytechnic, as we celebrate our annual Student Showcase.
Student Showcase is about promoting to the world the work that Otago Polytechnic students have produced throughout the year.
“From Fashion to Architecture, Product and Communication Design, Art, Engineering, Horticulture and beyond, our learners do it all with incredible skill and passion,” says Dr Megan Gibbons, Chief Executive, Otago Polytechnic.
“That’s why we’re so proud to shine a light on them and show off what they’ve been up to this year.
“For example, Otago Polytechnic carpentry students have built a four-bedroom home with guidance from lecturers – and the generous support of many local businesses.
“And each year for the past 14 years, that work has benefited many others, as the proceeds from our annual Charity House auction have been distributed to frontline community charities within Otago.
“The project embodies the ethos that our people make a better world. It also exemplifies the applied learning approach that Otago Polytechnic provides.”
The Charity House Auction, to be held on Saturday 20 November, is just one of many, many exciting student projects that will be celebrated as part of Student Showcase.
All Student Showcase events will adhere to current Covid-19 Alert level guidelines and restrictions (visit our website for up-to-date information).
However, this has meant changes to our usual programme.
For example, the “Collections” fashion show, one of the highlights of Showcase, takes on a new format.
Instead of a runway show, our Year-3 and Postgrad fashion learners’ work will be celebrated via two live film screenings at Otago Polytechnic on Friday 19 November (5.30pm and 8pm).
In addition to the live screenings, Otago Polytechnic’s Hub will also host an exhibition of selected Fashion learners’ work, on display as part of the wider “Debrief” exhibition, which celebrates other Design disciplines, including Product Design and Communications Design.
