Creative Schools Challenge 2019

Did you invent something for your class teacher to make their school day more fun?

Creativity matters...

It is a skill and an outlook that if nurtured when we are young can greatly influence how we interact with the world later in life. Little Inventors challenges children to come up with imaginative invention ideas in response to different creative briefs. With winning ideas being brought to life by full-size inventors – and made into real objects.

This Creative Schools challenge was open to pupils from schools in the East London Boroughs of Barking & Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets & Waltham Forest.

One ingenious idea was made into a real object and exhibited at the Creative Schools Symposium on Monday 18th November 2019. The winning teacher and school were invited to celebrate with us there!

About Creative Schools

Creative Schools is an innovative programme that supports schools to tackle challenges and seed change through the arts via our network of over 40 top arts and creative learning organisations. The programme helps school leaders to find new approaches to school improvement through consultation with us and provides match funding for schools to commission creative projects that meet their wider needs. We host networking events to encourage more collaboration across the arts and education sectors including our Annual Symposium, and since 2015 we have worked with over 99 schools and 5000 pupils across east London. Together we are making east London schools more creative!

At Creative Schools, we have been inspired by our partnership with Little Inventors to get teachers in classrooms all over east London feeling confident and comfortable using Little Inventors free resources to give their students the chance to invent and to celebrate their wonderful creative ideas.
