Craft & making · London

Part of the London Design Festival, this free weekend fills the V&A with installations, hands-on workshops, talks and demos exploring how AI and creative technology are reshaping ecology, care and community — genuinely drop-in, and genuinely hands-on rather than just screens to look at.
Good for teens and anyone curious about design and tech together — there's always someone on hand at each installation happy to talk you through what you're looking at.
