Testimonials
"The Smart Materials resource is superb as it provides in-depth understanding, using clear images and commentary, which is ideal for preparing students for the written examination. However, it is also a resource which could just as easily be used as a starting point for designing and especially in relation to Design Task 18 which asks students to prototype new innovative products."
Brian Russell,
Director of D&T at Dixons City Academy
