Produced by Practical Action, these materials contain ideas and support for students undertaking a CREST award. There are stimulus materials that help students look at an issue of sustainable development. These materials look at sustainable transport. In Nepal, the building of ropeways that allow people and farmers...

Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents and presentations, or for use with an interactive whiteboard. Mainly simple line drawings, they can be cut and pasted into documents and image processing applications. The images in this resource are related to...

These technical briefs focus on ways to transport goods and people in a relatively low cost way. This is important to people in the...

A selection of images related to methods of transportation.

This STEMNET resource describes the background and career of transportation planner, and STEM Ambassador, Dan Cornelius.

Dan's role is to assess road schemes and their impacts on local and regional areas. He develops graphic models of the situation and location. This allows him to manipulate elements, such...

This poster illustrates how expertise from designers, engineers and technologists is used to design and manufacture an innovative snowboard. It helps to illustrate how STEM industries offer many exciting career opportunities.

Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), this information sheet looks at how wind turbines can help to reduce emissions and ultimately tackle climate change. The first part of the sheet explains the greenhouse effect and then goes on to show how electricity generation from a variety of renewable...

This short film from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) is one of a series of clips which were produced to demonstrate the properties and use of a range of smart materials.

These springs, based on a brass alloy, ‘remember’ to open up at around 90°C and close again when cool. Such springs have many...

This folder of guidance and resources was published for UNESCO by the Association for Science Education. The resources consisted of 26 modules each with Student’s Notes and Teacher’s Notes.

UNESCO Project 2000+ was a collaborative partnership between eleven major international agencies and inter-governmental...

A case study from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) archives which looks at advanced engineering techniques, pioneered by EPSRC-supported research teams, which are increasing product possibilities and creating new manufacturing opportunities. ‘Ultra Precision Surfaces’ are considered...

This is one of a series of extended units, from the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association, to provide in-depth coverage of a topic or an area of the curriculum. The focus is on the aspects of systems and control that generally feature in courses of Design and Technology and...

This is one of a series of focused units, from the Association for Science Education and the Design and Technology Association, to introduce students to important technologies and their applications. This unit features sensors and their technological applications...

This report, published in 1994, evaluated the research activities and results of the Assessment of Performance Unit (APU) project in design and technology designed by the Technology Education Research Unit at Goldsmiths College. Data taken from the APU tests undertaken by students was used to determine the levels...
