From the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), this brochure describes the leading role played by UK scientists and engineers at universities, observatories and research council establishments in providing real-time astronomy for research and education. The work of the Liverpool and Faulkes telescopes...

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...

A collection of posters all linked to robotics. The first poster looks at how robotics is used in different STEM industries, including manufacturing, healthcare and space. The second poster promotes the skills that you can develop when you learn about robotics. The third poster looks at a number of different...

This collection of sample teacher guides is from Damien Kee, who works with teachers and students around the world to improve teaching with robots. The resources can get you up-and-running using a range of robotics platforms in the classroom, and are written in an easy-to-follow, practical style.

This poster provides examples of different industries that are using robotic technology. For example:

• Manufacturing
• Subsea
• Transport
• Healthcare
• Space

NASA’s Mars exploration rovers Spirit and Opportunity were sent to the planet to investigate its geology. Accurate images of the surface were needed so that possible areas to investigate could be selected and then the rover directed towards them. The cameras on board the rovers can only record black and white...

This resource supports students to research and discuss the field of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). The resource provides a series of student tasks that explore the topic of whether robots are a threat to humanity. This resource would work well as a research topic for students undertaking projects in...

Roche, the Swiss healthcare company, has created this collection of resources to give some context to how science in school can be linked to the development of drugs.

Some of the activities relate directly to a subject area in science such as disease transmission, the problem with anti-biotic resistant...
