Past Event
Join us to hear from three teachers who have taken part in the V&A Innovate National Schools Challenge over the past two years. They will share their range of experiences delivering the Challenge with different year groups, embedded within a D&T curriculum, and as part of an after-school club. Come away from the session with ideas and top tips for how you can run V&A Innovate in your setting. Holly Burton, National Schools Programme Producer at the V&A will also introduce this year’s themes: Renew, Connect and Move.
The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session with the speakers.
We will be joined by:
- Liam Anderson, Head of Design and Technology, Trinity School, Newbury
- Helen Vardy, SLE Design and Technology, Subject Leader Design and Technology, King Ecgbert School, Sheffield
