Content: Your pupils will create a 3D object that might just be the future solution to a real life problem, and tell the world about it!

In this open ended session, learners will discover, explore and talk about the innovative curation of the Museum of Making’s assemblage collection arranged by the materials the objects are made of. They will make good use of their scientific vocabulary for materials.

In our Studios, learners will learn new skills, using a wide range of tools, to make with different materials.  They will think about the material suitability, how to make stable structures, and turn their ideas into a reality, taking risks along the way!
