UK Maker Faire 2016 In Newcastle
We were excited once again to be at the Life Science Centre in Newcastle all weekend for the UK Maker Faire 2016. The UK Maker Faire is the UK’s biggest collection of hackers, crafters, coders, DIYers and garden shed inventors and offers a great way to spend an enjoyable day out with the family whilst offering endless learning opportunities via fun activities.
What to do with scrap Perspex?
If you’ve ever done any projects involving Perspex, no matter how careful you’ve been to maximise your usage, you’ll always have at least some scrap Perspex left over. Harry Gowlett, a second year Secondary Design and Technology Education student at Nottingham Trent University, shares some excellent tips on how you might recycle your Perspex offcuts into useful items.

This resource has been designed to show how you can use our Mono and stereo amplifier module kits as the basis for a 3D printing project.
Programming and creating circuits with the BBC microbit
Our Inventor’s Kit for the BBC micro:bit contains over 50+ parts and allows you to make 10 experiments that are included in detail using the provided Tutorial Book.
BBC micro:bit Launch Day!
After many months of hard work by all of the BBC micro:bit partners, today it was finally time to launch the device and what better venue to do this at, than the London stock exchange.
BBC micro:bit Live Lesson
The first BBC micro:bit focused live lesson is now out. Dan Walker, Ella Williamson and Ana Matronic are in the people’s history museum as they take a closer look.
600mm x 300mm Perspex Sheets
In direct response to our recent survey about material sheet size and laser cutter bed size we are continuing to expand our range of 600mm x 300mm sheets.
This time we’ve introduced opaque Perspex. This is the same as the Perspex we already sell, genuine branded Perspex with a laser cut safe protective film, and their unique 10 year guarantee, just more convenient for those of you with a smaller laser cutter.
BBC micro:bit Line Following Buggy Build Instructions
This is a step by step guide to building the BBC micro:bit Line Following Buggy. The buggy uses two light dependant resistors to control a line following board on the bottom of the chassis to ‘follow’ black lines.
