But the clock was ticking. Students only had 151 hours to create the design and prepare a competition-worthy presentation. T-minus 151 hours is an annual design project hosted at RIT. Students form into teams of five (freshman through graduate student) to complete a project assigned by the sponsoring company. As this year’s sponsor, Allegion chose to focus on products for the aging population. The purpose of Allegion’s involvement was to: Ted Roberts, Allegion industrial design manager and RIT graduate, established the partnership and led the initiative. He kicked off the initiative with workshops on lock basics, functions, features and materials. After the students received their team assignments, they got started on concepts.
Throughout the week, Roberts met with every team to answer questions and provide feedback, which the students nicknamed “Ted Talks.” “The energy was fantastic!” “The students did a good job grasping the problems they had to solve. It’s exciting to have 288 people thinking about your products.” The students and faculty appreciated Roberts’ engagement. “In past years, we’ve had sponsors come and kick off a project and then come in at the end and judge it,” said Josh Owen, RIT industrial design program chair. “This year, Ted was in residence for the entire week. This led to a rich advantage that is rare for a designer to have during the process of understanding a problem, and Ted was really generous.” At the end of the week, Allegion Portfolio Manager Dave Perozzi joined Roberts and Owen for judging. Each team had only three minutes to present their product. All winners received Kryptonite locks, a popular product among college students.
After the event, Allegion internally reviewed every project and selected three to patent and pursue (students receive the patent). Allegion also gained a co-op student from this partnership. Kelly Zheng became an intern in industrial design. Her team won the Most Innovative award. “This project got me to notice ‘invisible’ objects and unconscious experiences that we come across every day,” said Zheng. “It makes me appreciate the details and intellect that went into creating such modest designs.” Allegion plans to continue the strong partnership developed with RIT during T-minus 151 hours by working with individual classes for semester-long projects. “This initiative is a great example of our company’s purpose to pioneer safety and security, and it shows Allegion’s commitment to innovation, to Be Curious Beyond the Obvious and to do things outside the box,” Roberts said.What Can You Do With Remote Locks?
