JOHN Lewis Trafford is looking for school children, aged nine to 11 years, to take part in its Innovation Challenge as part of latest national Bringing Skills to Life competition.

The Innovation Challenge poses the question, ‘What will the shop of the future look like?’ and teams of pupils are challenged to design, plan and carry out projects that demonstrate big ideas, creative solutions and innovate thoughts on this question.

The submissions will be judged by John Lewis innovation managers and the overall winning school will win £1000 of John Lewis vouchers and a visit from the store's innovation managers, who will work with the pupils to develop their ideas further.

For more information about the challenge visit www.bringingskillstolife.co.uk/innovation-challenge or contact Carole Hartley, community liaison co-ordinator, carole_hartley@johnlewis.co.uk.
