The groundbreaking schools design initiative
Home > Inspiring young people
We want young people to realise their learning environments are important, and that they do have the means to affect them. To that end, we have developed an interactive, web-based game in the hope that it will encourage pupils to take an interest in their surroundings. Our ambition has been to create an innovative game that is a fun and upbeat learning tool. We hope that the game will encourage young people to raise the ideas they have explored via the game with school councils and teachers, with a view to giving them a chance to have a say in their learning environments.
Play the School Works game and travel through school, meeting people and solving problems as you go. Can you find the dog and fix the school?
