Digital Design Workshops
Focusing on the role of digital technology in the design and technology industries, these sessions combine analogue hands-on experiences with an introduction to designing through software. During the sessions, students will learn to use the software to create a design response to a user brief.
These workshops support the National Curriculum for Design and Technology and is tailored for key stages 2, 3, 4 and 5.
The sessions currently run both online and remotely. Please note that timings and session capacities vary depending on the format.
