About
 What if there was a secret agency housed beneath the streets in Central London set up to discover; ‘how are Londoners connected to the Olympics and what do they want to tell the world?’
The Space Invaders agency worked with schools to find out the answers to these two questions which informed the transformation of a space in their school.
Following the work in school, pupils were then invited to visit the Space Invaders Headquarters, at a secret site in central London, where pupils had a multisensory experience, exploring the site to discover the hidden stories and secrets based on their original ideas previously generated in school.
The schools:
Croydon
Ridgeway Primary School – pupils gathered the stories of Croydon, real and fictional, to create mini installations from everyday materials.
Croydon
St Peter’s Primary School – pupils captured their most special memories, creating mini memory installations in boxes to form a memory bank.
