Wallace & Gromit’s Cracking Ideas workshops for primary schools

The Intellectual Property Office is offering a series of free Wallace & Gromit’s Cracking Ideas workshops for primary schools.

The sessions will run across the UK to support imagination and creativity through Design & Technology for school ages 5 - 11.

To register for the sessions please email crackingideas@ipo.gov.uk with your preferred venue, school name, number of pupils and school year/age before 25 March 2022. Demand is limited, so those that contact us first will be given priority.

The interactive session will immerse the class in Wallace & Gromit’s workshop. Led by our inventor they will learn about existing inventions with a twist before exploring how imagination and creativity can change the future through invention.

The group will be challenged to invent, or improve an existing mode of transport for Wallace & Gromit to tour the UK. All entries will all be entered into our national competition to win an Aardman model making session for their class.

There may be an opportunity to attend the science centre to expand your visit. Please flag in your email if you would like to explore this.
