Design Workshop

Where students learn by doing, not just listening.

FunFitLab brings hands-on workshops to schools. Students think like designers, try on different careers and leave with ideas they made themselves.

Two workshops, one goal: curious, confident students

Each is a single session that fits a Science Day, activity day or regular period. Schools can book either one, or both.

Design Thinking

Spot a problem. Build the fix.

Students work in small teams through five simple steps. They meet a real user, shape a clear question, brainstorm, build a model and test it.

  • Tools such as personas, “How might we” questions and the feedback grid
  • Teamwork, sketching and quick prototyping
  • A design journal to take home
Career Exploration

Try on different jobs through role play.

Students act out roles in a story, such as a town facing a crisis, and see how many kinds of work it takes to solve a problem together.

  • No building and no materials needed from the school
  • Helps students notice what they enjoy
  • A Career Explorer card to take home

Questions schools ask

Which grades is it for?

We start with Grades 6–8. Sessions are adjusted for each grade, and we plan to add programmes for higher grades.

Is it safe for children?

Activities use paper, card, sticky notes and blunt scissors. A teacher is present throughout, and any special activity is run by our facilitators.

How long does it take?

The free demo is 20 minutes. The full workshop is usually 90 minutes, and we can adapt it to your timetable.

Does it fit our curriculum?

The design thinking workshop is built around the same five-step approach that CBSE’s design thinking module for Classes 6–8 uses. We are happy to share our outline with your teachers.

What does it cost?

The demo is free. Contact us for workshop pricing for your school.
