Hi All,
I am a year 12 student down in SA, currently working on a project designing a hypothetical product for school. The product is a still, used to distil water, purifying it for camping and survival.
it will work by boiling the water in a container and recondensing it as drinkable water.

I have copied the link to a short survey below, asking questions about how you, yourself access drinking water while camping and what features you believe to be the most important in a water purifying product.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to answer the survey and share your opinion.

It should work by simply copying the URL below into your search bar.

Thank you for your time.

Been a while since a marketing researcher posing as a student has dropped by.

I believe it is a student, by the way he has designed his system, so good on him for having a go.

Who puts them up to this? It has been seen before as QLD mentioned. All what is being asked for, is what people buy and use for camping anyway. Not sure what can be gleaned by doing this. I was once involved with students in exactly this type of research asked for here. I can't see how a Technology teacher would ask a student to do this. Did the student design the system? A visit to a dedicated outback store would reveal all that is needed here, apart from testimonials.

A "research project" is a requirement of the Yr11/12 SACE program in South Australia.. its dumb. Students go through motions just to sign it off.. its likely this survey is part of that.

Pretty much the same as VCE in the SOCIALIST STATE of VIC The so called education dept, or whatever they are called this week, had that for TECHNOLOGY STUDENTS in yr 12. For a time I was involved in assessing, ie, marking the end of year VCE papers for yr 12 for what was called, Tech Design and Deveopment. Not sure how a survey proves anything within that. Research can be done in many ways. It is likely any responses to this request will have nearly ALL responses saying the same thing, because that it will be from what people bought from the camping store. Often the same camping store. No one here has really used, or has developed or invented something new! A dead end?
