V&A Innovate National Schools Challenge
V&A Innovate is a challenge for schools that encourages students to use design thinking approaches and human-centered design methodology. Students are invited to choose from three contextual challenges, inspired by the V&A collections and exhibitions that ask critical questions about the issues shaping our world.
The challenges can be run at any time in the school year and is supported by a collection of videos, downloadable resources and a teacher’s toolkit.
Every Autumn Term the National Schools Challenge is open for entries from teams of Key Stage 3 students. All entries are judged by an industry panel and students are in with a chance of winning awards and prizes for their school. Head to the V&A Innovate National Schools Challenge webpage for more information on the annual contextual challenges and how to enter your students’ ideas.
