Buckminster College takes its name from Buckminster Fuller, who envisioned Spaceship Earth—a planet where we are all interconnected, co-navigating an uncertain future. Inspired by this idea, Buckminster is a nomadic, part-time educational enrichment program designed to prepare young people to navigate complexity, collaborate across disciplines, and take shared responsibility for the world they will help shape.

At Buckminster, young people (ages 10–16) learn directly from artists, scientists, and philosophers in an intergenerational space of play and exploration. Through immersive experiences—games, theatre, systems simulations, and collaborative storytelling—we transform complex ideas into lived experience. Instead of learning about complexity, participants experience it first-hand.

This year, we are organising a multi-day residential session around summer 2025 where young people and leading thinkers will co-create an adventure in learning. Buckminster is designed to work alongside traditional schooling, and we can assist with school permissions for students needing enrichment.
