About:
Wallace & Gromit’s Cracking Ideas aims to inspire your children to be creative and inventive, whether you’re in a classroom, a club or at home!
Designed with the help of Aardman, whose invention-loving duo Wallace & Gromit feature in the learning materials, Cracking Ideas provides curriculum-led activities that get children engaged with design and the importance of protecting Intellectual Property (IP).
Our age-appropriate activities inspire children aged 4-7 and 8-11 to come up with their own inventions which they can enter into our nationwide competition - there’s some very special prizes up for grabs!
Flexible resources support different ages, settings, abilities and interests. Use them in your classroom or with an after-school club, youth centre, Scout or Guide group.
In these activities, children think about how innovative design can improve the world around them. Working as individuals or as part of a team, children will undertake some creative product design, explore some important stages in the design process, and help Wallace & Gromit reinvent the Wrong Trousers so that they can do good for our planet.
As they learn and invent, children are introduced to Intellectual Property (IP) and the importance of protecting original ideas. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with IP! We explain IP in simple, age-appropriate ways in the resources.
Wallace & Gromit will be sharing their competition top tips and inspirational ideas throughout the competition via the IPO Education – Cracking Ideas social media channels, and through our ‘IP in Education’ newsletter. It might even be that their adventures and tips will inspire your very own Cracking Ideas.
Please share tour design journey with us on social media by using #CrackingIdeas
Let’s show the world world what a cracking bunch of inventors the next generation are!
