THAT SHAPE EDUCATION
Programme for pupils from Wadowice County
Over 14 sessions, participants define problems, design solutions and create meaningful, well-considered projects using STEAM and design thinking methods.
Here they can develop as creators, researchers and designers. Each group has a maximum of 12 places. People accepted into the project may take part in only one type of workshop.

01
Clothing recycling – your own collection
Participants create pieces for their own collection from upcycled clothing. They explore the fast-fashion system, analyse materials, create prototypes and improve their designs. They work like young circular-fashion designers.
For whom: girls aged 12–15.
For whom: girls aged 12–15.
02
mechanical game – DIY pinball
Participants create a working mechanical game based on physics and engineering: motion, friction, speed and stability. From the first tests to the final tournament — a complete design process and great fun.
For whom: children and young people aged 10–12.
For whom: children and young people aged 10–12.
03
Let’s Make a Comic! – art and storytelling workshop
Participants go through the full publishing process: from planning the layout and working with professional tools to assembling the comic. We place strong emphasis on developing design skills, group collaboration and storytelling. It is a safe, judgement-free space where artistic ability is not assessed — we focus on creative problem-solving and telling stories.
For whom: young people aged 13–14.
For whom: young people aged 13–14.

Handmade jewellery – form and function
Participants design and build a section of a real sensory path. They assess materials, test prototypes, examine safety and function. They learn how to combine knowledge about the senses, engineering and ecology in a practical project.
For whom: girls aged 12–15.
For whom: girls aged 12–15.
05
Design and drawing in VR
Students go through the full design process: from navigating the VR environment and working with scale and perspective, through defining a concept and building a structure, to iterative testing, presentation and reflection on the process.
For whom: children and young people aged 13–14.
For whom: children and young people aged 13–14.
06
Sensory path – STEAM in action
Participants create a working mechanical game based on physics and engineering: motion, friction, speed and stability. From the first tests to the final tournament — a complete design process and great fun.
For whom: children and young people aged 10–12.
For whom: children and young people aged 10–12.
