Great Help for Elders × Engineering New Sensation
the task in such a short time; we were all so impressed. I think the achievements we reached have a lot to do with gathering people from different expertise with different thinking in one place. I do look forward to the continuing development of such type of spirit with team work pattern in creating a new opportunity for the aging society and making the elders even more happier.
Ching-Kwan Chang / General Manager, L’elan Enterprise I notice a few things after running the L’elan Enterprise: 1) There are not many people in Taiwan that are in the field of product design for elders; 2) Most of the products for elders in the market are made for the elders in Japan, Europe or America that they are not suitable for the elders in Taiwan. However in this T Workshop, I saw a group of students from different fields that started from observing the needs of the elders to proceed with product design and put together actual working models. The process of thinking and making things happen are truly remarkable. I hope they could keep up the spirit, and bringing the energy for the industry of products for elders in Taiwan.
Jin-Ling Lin / Assistant Professor Department of Information Management, Shih-Hsin University Six products come from six different creativities. Although there are difficulties for some designs become real products due to the technical constraint, “thinking” is still the mother of the invention. Thinking is always the first step to arouse the development and make impossible possible. The willingness of these students in considering the needs of an aging society before they enter the job markets makes this activity very meaningful.
