Winner of Morph “Change and Adapt” Science week competition!
We were blown away by the incredible entries we received for our Morph “Change and Adapt” Science Week competition.
Designed for primary schools across the UK, Morph Bricks in partnership with Floreon (bioplastics manufacturer) set out to find next generation young designers and help them understand the importance of sustainability, how plastic can be recycled and to learn about new innovative bioplastic materials.
The creativity and curiosity shown by pupils who set out to imagine something new for their school—or just to see what they could build using the Morph system—was truly inspiring.
From playful and imaginative designs like giraffes, climbing walls, and a pirate ship to thoughtful ideas such as quiet zones, wellbeing spaces, and reading nooks, the range and originality of entries was fantastic.
Teachers also gave us some brilliant feedback, highlighting a real interest in using Morph Bricks for planters, dividers, and individual workstations to support outdoor learning and flexible classroom spaces.
Students used a variety of creative tools to bring their ideas to life. Some built models from LEGO, others used the Morph Creator software or different online platforms, and many submitted colourful and detailed drawings and design plans.
Each design was judged on imagination, detail, and overall presentation by a panel made up of team members from both Morph Bricks and Floreon. The standard was incredibly high, making it a tough job for our judges!
One teacher let us know:
"The children thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Morph Bricks competition in our STEM club and Year 5 class. I was so impressed with their creative designs and ideas to help improve our school. The Morph Creator is a fantastic tool that meant the children were able to see their designs come to life. We look forward to entering any future competitions."
And the Winner is...
We’re thrilled to announce that the overall winner is Melia (Year 5 pupil) from Keston CE Primary School, Kent.
Winnig designer Melia explained:
"I made this design for younger children to help them learn. They can also use it to relax and calm and to clear out their minds. The area has some learning resources attached to the Morph Bricks and a cosy seating area to make the children comfortable."
Julia Green (Teacher) added:
"The children at Keston CE Primary School thoroughly enjoyed taking part in this competition as part of our Science Week. The teacher information pack and resources made it very easy to deliver in the classroom and ensured the task and background information was accessible to a wide range of ages. We especially liked the links to sustainability and the important message that this gave to our pupils. It was also wonderful that this challenge allowed children of all academic abilities to use their creativity and imagination to take part and to achieve a great design, not just those who excel at English or Maths."
The school is now exploring ways to bring elements of the winning design to life, including creating new seating areas in their Forest School, building ‘den’ areas for individual work, and adding sensory spaces using Morph Bricks to section off part of their Dome area. We'll be working closely with the school in the coming weeks to finalise plans and arrange installation at a time that suits them.
Thank you to all the schools for taking part
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the schools who took part—and most of all to the pupils who put time and thought into their entries. We’ve even received messages from teachers saying how much the children enjoyed the challenge, which means a lot to us.
Because the standard of entries was so high, we’re going a step further than originally planned: alongside the main prize, we’ll also be sending certificates and a book token to the top 10 entries.
Thank you again to everyone who took part—we can’t wait to run our next competition!
