“Doing a big project outside of the university was a great opportunity. The coaches helped a lot, were always insightful and motivated us to push forward. We worked very hard and believe we have already inspired others to think about the subject of handing in their old phones.”
Team
REPOKKI
TU Delft - The Netherlands
An all Dutch team studying different Masters in Industrial Design Engineering at Technische Universiteit Delft. Their team name, 'repokki', comes from 're' as a reference to circular processes, and 'pokkie', which is Dutch slang for 'mobile phone'. The challenge is the perfect opportunity to adapt their current knowledge and perspectives, learn new skills and methods and work together as a group of friends.
Team members - Eline van den Wildenberg (The Netherlands), Tippi de Bruin (The Netherlands), Romée Postma (The Netherlands), Flore Rens (The Netherlands) and Mila van Rijs (The Netherlands)
“I have very rarely seen a team that is so capable of understanding the hidden problems of society, and that has tried to make our world a little bit better with their smart solution.”
Assessment coach, Robin Auer - Design Researcher, Experience Designer, and Strategist at IBM, Boeblingen, Germany
Service concept
