Design School Trip Ideas

What is a design school trip? Looking to plan an educational design school trip and need some ideas and options for your pupils and students, which involves experiencing a design environment outside of the classroom but will compliment alongside your National Curriculum key stage study topic such as DT, literature, art, music, science, engineering, and business.

Design is often interlinked with Art, Technology and STEM in many industries/services today these go hand in hand lets take the fashion industry items are designed and manufactured in modern factories were technology plays a big part in the process from online design software to automated machinery that cuts, stiches and boxes these goods for the consumer market.

One school trip idea is a museum for your pupils to experience the design thinking process this would feature various designs and designers through exhibits and hands on workshops were they will learn and gain skills and knowledge of products, industrial processes, graphics, fashion, architectural design through the ages.

Who knows one of your pupils in the future might be the next big designer in a specific industry or service, but for now let’s get them on a Design School Trip Experience.
