Design an enclosure competition

The competition is open to all students who have attended an enclosure design session.

Students are asked to design a new enclosure and an enrichment device for an animal of their choice at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.

The classroom session provides them with key considerations when designing a new enclosure and enrichment devices. The rest of the visit to the Zoo should be spent researching animals and enclosures. Pupils should be given time at school after the visit to complete their designs or this could be set as a homework project.

Please use a maximum of 4 sides of A4 or 2 sides of A3 to complete the design. Plans and drawings should be labelled, describing and explaining features of the *
design.
