More from the Gallery. That’s Scooterkit! a design and technology project by Ben Wilson and 12 enthusiastic teenagers all taking part in Design Camp 2009; a unique design learning experience, developed by architect turned school teacher, David Baker. Ben Wilson, author of the Chairfix exhibition at The Aram Gallery in 2003, developed the Scooterkit project in response to an invitation by Baker, who saw him give an inspirational vocational lecture to hundreds of school children. In Scooterkit, Wilson continues his work with open-source design and products that invite participation by the user. In addition, he builds on his interest in customising and personalising objects. Wilson’s scooters show an ambitious use of everyday technology and DIY materials. In the Summer of 2009 Wilson worked with pupils from schools in West London as part of Design Camp to design and make scooters from an entry-level kit of parts. This exhibition is a celebration of the result.
