After the prize giving, Peter Ayres from Beep Studio talked to students about his journey to becoming a designer and then lead the group in a fast paced workshop exploring how they can use drawing to communicate their product ideas.

Tea and cake made the perfect end of a fun afternoon celebrating great designs.

Well done teams!
