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.

Our Thread Winding Machine has been designed to measure and wind a piece of conductive thread neatly around an Electro-Fashion bobbin, find out how!

It's been 10 months since the BBC first got in touch with us to ask if we'd like to become a BBC micro:bit partner, and now, we're delighted to announce following todays official launch, we can launch our own ambitious plans.

This week, we are looking at some unique 3D printable designs you can print using your 3D printer featuring these Light of Night Orbs.

This is a simple tutorial demonstrating how to use the output pins on the micro:bit and use the built in accelerometer to control a buzzer when the micro:bit is moved.

This Kitronik University resource is part of the BBC micro:bit partnership and will show you how to 3D print your very own BBC micro:bit case. It has been produced in conjunction with our friends at Robox. We are currently working on this project, it will be available later on this summer. In the meantime enjoy this sneak preview!

This Kitronik University course is part of the BBC microbit partnership and covers aspects of the micro:bit including an overview of what it is, what our role is and of course tutorials to let you get started using it within Design & Technology and Science. Learn now!

Kitronik is one of many partners working with the BBC on the BBC micro:bit project. Collectively the project will give every year 7 student a BBC micro:bit, but just as important as the hardware it will offer project ideas, resources, tutorials to allow teachers to deliver exciting curriculum based activities using the BBC micro:bit. At Kitronik we will be focusing on using the BBC micro:bit within D&T.

The BBC micro:bit is a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customise and control – simply switch it on and programme it to light up, sync with other devices, and make your very own BBC micro:bit ideas, games and apps come to life.

Just like in our previous blog posts; we are covering a project in conjunction with first year students at NTU with a LED picture.

We're excited to announce that we'll be demonstrating the BBC Micro Bit at the D&T Summer School in Loughborough on the 9th and 10th of July.
