Design Ventura offers secondary school students the chance to respond to a real-world brief, bringing the business of design to life. The competition is run by the Design Museum in partnership with Deutsche Bank’s global youth engagement programme Born to Be.

The shortlisted and winning entries will be on display at the Design Museum for two months, while the ‘Colour Countdown’ game will soon be available from the museum’s shop, with money raised from the sales going to the winning team’s chosen charity.Receive our daily digest of inspiration, escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inboxLéa Teuscher is a Sub-Editor at Wallpaper*.
