The Design Museum is the world’s leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form, and its collection, events, exhibitions, and learning programmes invite everyone to experience and reflect on the impact of design.

The museum’s Learning programme hosts a variety of activities to open pathways into the design industries for young people. Supporting the National Curriculum for Design and Technology and tailored for key stages 2- 5, we offer students and educators design education facilities and workshops supporting a vibrant programme connected with the wider ecology of design practice, networks and communities.

We offer the following activities as part of the Great British School Trip:

  • –   Self-guided exhibition visits
  • –   Hands on Design workshops
  • –   Digital Design workshops

Please note, unfortunately it is not possible for us to help fund trips to the Sustainable Design workshops.
