This research project developed from a small research grant and resourced by Lego Learning (see www.Legolearning.net for more details). The focus of the project was to examine children’s designs for a future school and to compare these to current designs and initiatives funded by the UK government. Participation from schools across the globe has led to varied and at times surprising results. The project website has more details of the work involved and can be found at http://csalt.lancs.ac.uk/odonoghue/futureschool.
