London marathon costume
In this activity, pupils design a costume for participants running in the London marathon. They need to consider how modern and smart fabrics could be used in their design, such as those that wick moisture to keep runners cool and dry.
They will also need to consider how to make their costume eye-catching and stand out in the crowd to help participants raise money for, and awareness of, their chosen charity. Finally, the costume designs will need to allow for ease of movement when running long distances. Pupils will use their knowledge to develop a suitable outcome to match the given design brief.
