Course information

This is the first Toy Invention programme of its kind in the UK.

 

We explore concept development, participatory design, histories and cultures around play and the prototyping, pitching and marketing of toys, games and interactive experiences. We blend the technical (hands-on making) and the critical (heads-on understandings of industry processes and wider social and sustainability issues).

 

You'll meet schoolchildren, Spin Master communities and finish each unit with these dialogues guiding you to a creative idea and professional pitch. Your interactions with kids of all ages will be guided by a play therapist and you'll get business insights through one-to-ones with Spin Master gurus.
