Each week I let you in on some of the best the web has to offer with regards to the inventing world.

If you have or know of a site that should be featured in next weeks article Contact Us and we’ll take a look.

Core77

This site has two main sections of interest, the articles and the forum.

For me the best part of the site has to be the 1 hour design challenge. The premise is simple,

  • The Core77 team set out a brief, in that brief they will detail a problem or subject for design
  • We (the audience) then set about designing our ideas according to that brief, we design what ever we can within one hour.
  • We then share our idea on the forum alongside ideas other people have had.
  • This then opens up a debate about what design is best and what it truly possible. It’s a great way to get your head into problem solving mode.

Here’s an example of the challenge they set for a theft proof bike.
