What if you could capture light? Or turn waste into something new?
These are exactly the kinds of questions designers ask themselves every day. And the best part? They find answers by making, testing and sometimes even failing.
During this interactive guided tour, your class discovers how designers shape the world around us. Together with an enthusiastic museum guide, pupils learn to observe like designers, question everyday objects and uncover the stories behind inspiring pieces from the collection.
