Words without Sounds: Creative Solutions from Creative Minds at Footprints

Using their creativity and innovation learners will consider the real-world problem of non-verbal communication as they design a product or solution of the future.

Participants will be introduced to what is meant by innovation and have an open discussion around STEM and the engineering design process and how this helps people come up with, develop and improve ideas.

Working in small teams, or on their own, learners will use their creativity to design an innovative product that empowers children who live with non-verbal communication to achieve independent communication. Once they’ve completed a design, there will be an opportunity to present their ideas.

This event targets children with mobility and communication difficulties and their families and booking is essential.

This event is supported by the Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity’s Community Grants Programme 2024.
