Saturday 16 Jan 10:30 AM | For 10-14 year olds
We bring your children a fun, engaging live learning experience where your child's imagination can flourish as they take on our 'real life' scenario.
What’s the task?
Our team will introduce you to 'Sam'. He owns a trendy coffee shop in Shoreditch in East London and needs a new logo and brand image for his business. This is your kid's chance to help! This imaginary take on a real life brief will teach your kids to listen to his brief and get creative when designing a logo for his coffee shop.
Win a Nintendo Switch!
Share your child's work after the livestream. Sam will pick his favourite designs and the winner will receive a Nintendo Switch!
On the programme
- Helping Sam create a logo for his new coffee shop
- Talking to the client and understanding his brief
- Helping a business solve a problem
Why my kids should join?
Because it's a combination of fun time and learning! During our livestream, your kids will understand the basics of marketing, gain an idea of a designer’s job and notice the importance of branding. They will be focusing on developing their creativity, problem solving, and communication.
What will they need?
The kids will need any device that can access YouTube - it can be a laptop, tablet or a mobile. Apart from that, we suggest preparing pen and paper and creative materials. If you'd like to design using your computer, feel free! Don't forget to bring a lot of imagination!
Please make sure that on the day of the event your kids have access to a device with Zoom installed on it. An instruction on how to download and install it can be found here.
