Takween’s Product
Design Fellowship was created in 2021 to aid designers and creatives in Jordan
after the
COVID-19 pandemic. In its second iteration, the fellowship was
expanded to include two new design streams: physical product designs and
digital product designs, according to a press statement.
The physical
product design stream was facilitated by Jordanian designer Qusai Malahmeh and
focused on the inclusion of the development of consumer products. The second
stream focused on digital product design, such as creating digital services
through apps, websites and UI/UX design, and was facilitated by Jordanian
designer Ala’a Ali.
The program
included a 102-hour diverse modular learning program focusing on the
intersections of economic, social, and environmental sustainability in product
design. Subjects tackled were entrepreneurship, design ergonomics, service
design or financing, and sustainable design thinking. The modules were
presented by experts working within the Jordanian or regional ecosystem.
Each fellow was
then matched with local businesses and organizations working in the field of
digital or physical product design. The fellows engaged in an immersive 200-hour
internship with Takween’s partners.
Internships were
offered at 01inventions, 360moms, Bravo Bravo App, Children Museum, FabricAid,
Jazri Studio, Jawaker, Little Ones, MenaLab, Media Plus, Online Fashion Club,
PiPharma, Shamal Start, Sitech, Syntex, Tadamon, Techworks, The Solutions Unit,
Turquoise Mountain, and Waragami.
The exhibition is running
until October 15.
