Making Connections 
Inspired by our installation Thingamabobas, we delivered a workshop programme in two schools, one in Hong Kong and one in Nottingham, to explore design thinking and tinkering. We worked in collaboration with Lakeside Arts at The University of Nottingham, Djanogly Strelley Primary School UK, Hong Kong artists Agnes Pang and Zoie So and Sam Shui Natives Association Huen King Wing School, Hong Kong.
We delivered 6 workshops to children aged 6-7 and 9-11 and presented our findings at Spark 2021. In conceiving Thingamabobas installation it was always our intention to create a complementary learning pack for schools focused on Design Thinking and Tinkering. Our aims were to use creativity as a developmental tool to raise aspiration and attainment, to identify new ways of working to embed creativity at the heart of the recovery curriculum, and to build confidence amongst the children. Critical to the project was to receive feedback from the class and Head Teachers, the artists on both continents, and the children to enable us to refine the learning pack so that it will be of greatest use to all future schools that chose to engage with it.
