Design a Tardis Console
Find out what a Tardis console does, plus get some insider tips for your design.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for one Blue Peter viewer to design a Tardis console for the Doctor to use. The winning design will be made and seen in an episode of the next series starring the brand new Doctor – Matt Smith!
What do I do?
- Print out the template and use this to help you design your console.*
- If you’d rather, you can draw your design on A4 paper, but make sure you include both top and side views.
- The console is the bit in the middle of the Tardis where the Doctor has all his controls.
- You can include notes which tell us about the features of your design.
- Did you know, all consoles have six sides, so make sure you include all six panels on your design.
- There is no word limit and you can use any art method you'd like, such as pencils / paint / computer design etc. However please don't stick anything to your design.
- You need to use stuff you would find around the house in your design – things like light bulbs and teapots!
*You will need Adobe Reader to view the PDF template. This is free to download and won't hurt your computer. More information can be found at CBBC Help. If you are still having problems viewing the PDF you can download the template as jpegs here: Page 1 and Page 2
