Intergalactic Athletes | A new FREE KS3/4 creative education resource, combining students’ visual, analytical and written skills

Challenge you students to design outer-space, Intergalactic Athletes, in 2D, 3D, or both! Check out the resource at: www.intergalactic-athletes.io

Benefits:

• Simple teacher resources to use, ready for delivery in your classroom
• Student work is featured in an online space-themed gallery
• All submissions receive a bespoke digital certificate.

Features:

• Can be delivered in curriculum, for extra-curricular enrichment or for after school clubs (both for the classroom or remotely at home)
• Subjects covered: Art & Design, D&T, English (but challenge your students to get physically ‘Intergalactic’ active through the process!)
• Immersive space themed story and project experience for students
• Includes an engaging Intergalactic Athletes video brief
• Young people can imagine what other sports are currently being played in space – keeping all of those aliens, robots and all sorts of creatures, perhaps even other humans, active

“Intergalactic Athletes allows students to embrace a creative journey that has no boundaries. It provides the foundations for young people to design athletes that have never existed and explore their imagination without worrying about what is right or wrong. It inspires creative thinking and could be the catalyst for the next J. K. Rowling, Tolkien, or Roald Dahl – individuals that have used imagination and innovation to create new worlds.” 

Jack Andrews, Head of 3D Design, Simon Balle School

Intergalactic Athletes is a project by Triple Double, a London-based creative studio that unleashes how youth engage in sport and education.
