Every year, Fernwood School hosts a 'Design Day' for Year 9 students where external companies run workshops to show what they are doing in relation to D&T. This year, over 11 companies provided workshops including Dyson and Boots!

The Electro-Fashion: Igloo PICAXE Wearable Module is ideal for all of your e-textiles project needs including adding the endless possibilities of programming to your wearable projects!

In December 2015 Paul and Julie Boyd ran an exciting two day e-textiles workshop at The STEM Centre in York using Kitronik’s Electro Fashion e-textiles resources, including the Igloo, PICAXE wearable module.

Break out all 21 pins of the BBC micro:bit and easily connect additional components using the new Prototyping System for the BBC micro:bit from Kitronik.

Last week, two members of Kitronik went down from our Headquarters in Nottingham down to run a workshop at Merchant Taylors' School in London as a part of their Design Week held annually.

Last week, we were excited to be one of the three partners with the BBC for showcasing the BBC micro:bit at the BETT Show 2016.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use an Igloo PICAXE wearable module to make the on-board LED blink on and off.

Want to add a touch of class to your project? We've expanded our range of Veneered MDF and set up a separate category on our online shop so you can view the whole of our Veneered MDF all in one place.

the creation of an amazing screen of BBC micro:bits. The screen measures 2.2m by 1.4m and comprises of over 1000 of the pocket sized coding devices which will soon be delivered to every year 7 pupil in the UK.

This Kitronik University Resource is a part of the BBC micro:bit partnership and explains the various options available for powering your BBC micro:bit.

After you've created your first program you'll need to compile it and transfer it to the BBC micro:bit. This process is very simple, and if you follow our guide you'll be up and running in no time.

The Touch Develop Editor centres around a code keyboard, making it perfect for writing code on a touch screen device or by using your mouse.

The Microsoft Block Editor is a drag and drop editor that provides a simple introduction to programming. Blocks snap together to build programs and are grouped by the type of function they do. When a group is selected, the commands in the whole group are highlighted and can be selected. It's a great introduction to programming for those with little or no experience.

We're launching a number of products including the 'Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit at the BETT (British Educational Training and Technology Show) 2016.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use an Igloo PICAXE wearable module to make a sewable E-textiles LED flash on and off.

This resource has been designed to show how you can use our uncased memory stick modules as the basis for a 3D printing project. A memory stick is a great place to start when learning how to use 3D Printers and CAD software. This is because they are small in size, meaning they are quick to print (when compared to larger designs), but can still offer a wide range of learning and design experiences.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Igloo's on-board push button switch as a momentary switch to turn the on-board LED on and off. The LED will come on while the button is held down and turn off when the button is released.
