Creative Sessions at the Ice Skating Rink (Eindhoven)

Dear Reader,
You can find the pictures of our last creative session below. That day, we were all at the ice skating rink at Eindhoven and were tasked to develop a new kind of (sports)shoe for younger children.

Before we started our sessions, there were skating classes...
