Inclusivity
The children designed spaces to Inclusive to children with different abilities and ages. They did this by designing places children could access easily and interact with as many of the four senses as possible. Places children can play through touch, smell. hear and see.
Sustainability
Climate change requires us all to take action. The children learnt how fossil fuels release green house gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. The thought about how climate change impacts them and others. They mainly choose materials that were nature based or reusable.
Play
Play is at the centre of everything we do. The children took part in 3-4 design workshops, were play based learning was used to help them engage with sustainability, work as a team and have fun. All of their designs are playful and most of them can be played with.
The Designers
Imaginative children and young people from schools, youth groups and communities designed the play. Children of mixed ages, abilities and neurodiversity's are supported through our co-design programmes to design play spaces as junior engineers.
