This week, we are proud to be sponsoring a MyMiniFactory 3D Printing competition, where prizes include some of our most popular kits and a Flashforge Dreamer 3D Printer.

This year so far has been a year of celebration: we are currently celebrating our 10th Birthday with the added bonus of celebrating the sale of our millionth home produced kit here in Nottingham.

Earlier this month the BBC micro:bit was launched at New Broadcasting House and a couple of days later Geoff took it to show teachers at the D&T Association summer school. We look back at the event here.

Last week we attended the final presentation of the NTU SKE students, a course for graduates with a degree in a subject other than D&T, who wish to train as secondary Design and Technology teachers. They had spent a lot of the last seven weeks working on their projects, and we were excited to see what the four groups came up with.
