Summary

Fountaineers is a prototype project which engages pupils and staff in a primary school as co-designers of an interactive and programmable water fountain. As people pass by, the intelligent fountain will respond to their behaviour in different ways using programs created by pupils. In both its design and use, the fountain will enable children and adults to engage with and learn from their environment; learn between lessons and across spaces; and take part in a range of collaborative learning experiences.

Project type and status

Prototype project/new teaching practices. The fountain has now been installed at Luckwell School, and we will be reporting back on progress.
