How Can We Catch the Wind?:
Half Term Challenge
Deadline: Sunday 21 February 2021, midnight
As part of their collaborative project with Year 4 students from Bounds Green School, artists Arieh Frosh and Ed Compson set a creative challenge for students to design their own wind machines.
We loved the video they put together so much that we had to share it more widely.
Can you create a wind machine of your own? Send us your designs by midnight on Sunday 21st February 2021, and we'll share them on our Instagram stories. We'll also add them to this webpage. We'd love to see what you create!
