Design-led thinking in the capital
London’s got design and tech inspiration on tap. From the moment you arrive, it’s all go – everyday objects reimagined at the Design Museum, digital animation sessions at the V&A, and hands-on sustainability challenges at the Museum of Brands.
Students can dive in, sketch, build, and rethink what’s possible. They’ll see how design shapes the world – and start imagining how they could shape it too.
