Game On, For The Planet: Design A Board Game

Calling young designers and eco-advocates! Join us for a hands-on design workshop at the Ulster Museum with Future Island.

Game On, For The Planet: Design A Board Game session introduces children to design thinking through the playful format of board games. Together, we'll explore how environmental themes can shape the world around us, connecting sustainability with creativity. Children will think like a designer, create their own board game, explore environmental themes and get hands-on and creative!

The kids will be joined by Future Island-Island researchers, design educator Dr Amanda Mironova-Stronge (Ulster University), and game designer Rory O'Connor (Hub Games), exploring how imaginative thinking can empower the next generation of changemakers.
