Resources

The Kitronik book of projects is the first installment of a new format of resources specifically aimed at D&T teachers. It looks to inspire teachers and help them find suitable projects for a variety of ability levels. Each project is costed on a per-student basis so that teachers can plan ahead and stay within budget.

This handy little desk lamp has been designed and created in the classroom by year 8 student Neve Spurr from Carlton-Le-Willows School, Nottingham. Using our USB LED Strip Kit, some value acrylic and a few bits of wood, she has developed a desk lamp that can tick off a number of requirements from the UK curriculum.

Keep an eye on the temperature using one of our temperature modules and some Green Cast® acrylic. With summer just around the corner, it's the perfect make for the laser cutter. Follow Kev's, our designer/illustrator, simple step by step guide to create a cheery plant in its plant pot, monitoring the changing weather.

These keyrings are a great cost-effective and time-light project that will make for a great classroom activity.
