Learning Journey: Red Dot Design Museum









Brought some students to the Red Dot Design Museum to look at some of the winning product designs and students were given a worksheet to analyse the products that they like and attempt to modify the designs. More information on the Red Dot Design Museum can be found at:

Discover design

Design is everywhere. We are surrounded by it but often don't think about why things are the way they are. Discover Design is an interactive resource for teachers and students that will stimulate critical and creative approaches to design and help you make the most of visiting the Design Museum.

Go to http://www.designmuseum.org/discoverdesign/ to get inspired!!
