Clever STEM toolkit
Between 2013-2016, academic researchers at Newcastle, Bath, Oxford, Cardiff, Surrey and Loughborough universities came together to work on ways in which our current ‘throw-away’ society can move towards a new model – where electronic waste will be reduced. The CLEVER toolkit was developed by the CLEVER team with educational advisors from Leicestershire Education Business Company (LEBC).
Designed for use with key stage three secondary school pupils, the CLEVER toolkit enables students and teachers to investigate emerging material technologies and creative design ideas to create sustainable mobile technology for a wide range of users. The toolkit emphasises the responsibility of designers, engineers and technologists to develop user-centred products with sustainable manufacturing technologies.
Through the resources provided, students can investigate the social, emotional and environmental impact of a mobile phone and identify and solve design problems to achieve a sustainable technology product.
