How should we teach ‘exploded diagrams’ to children in KS2?, First, show children some examples of exploded diagrams e.g. those provided by a DIY store or used to assemble a model with a construction kit. Discuss the fact that exploded diagrams help when we want to show people the parts or components of the product we are designing, how they fit together and the order of assembly. If safe and possible, ask children to disassemble a relevant, existing product (and make sure they are able to reassemble it afterwards!)...
Inspired by Industry RAF, Inspired by Industry: RAF This context allows students to explore temporary shelter design for various situations, from humanitarian aid to pop-up market stalls and pet carriers. The project encourages material exploration, testing for properties like insulation and waterproofing, and considering collapsible structures and mechanical systems. Students can create physical or CAD prototypes, with testing methods ranging from virtual FEA analysis to hands-on team challenges like building and water-testing shelters. The project supports individual and group work, fostering problem-solving
Inspired by Industry Pure Electric, Inspired by Industry: Pure Electric Students tackle the design of cargo-carrying systems for bikes, scooters, and e-scooters. This project encourages practical prototyping, precise measuring, and material experimentation, including multi-material solutions using fabrics and polymers. From creating holders for tools and water bottles to waterproof carriers, students can test their designs in class and refine them conceptually with CAD software. Log in or join the Association and add this to your basket. This classroom resource is free...
Inspired by Industry Bang Creations, Inspired by Industry: Bang Creations This practical challenge focuses on creating functional desk organisers with modern applications. Students can design items like pen pots, dual-purpose holders for phones or glasses, or multi-functional workspace tools. The project is flexible, offering opportunities to use various materials and methods, including CAD, 3D printing, and traditional craftsmanship, to develop tailored solutions for a tidy and efficient workspace. Log in or join the Association and add this to your basket. This classroom resource is free so...
Mapping out careers, This pdf poster will help your students focus on their career paths and the routes they will need to follow to get to their chosen job. The routes and locations on the map will help them identify and decide on their future paths and the options needed to get them to where they want to be. How to use the mapPrint out the map and put it in a prominent place where students can pause and consider...
Inspired by Industry Yoto, Inspired by Industry: Yoto This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the design and creation of toys to help children learn. While the company specialise in screen free audio players, the context is adaptable to other types or learning toy. This context provides opportunities to explore woods and polymers as well as prototyping materials such as card and expanded foam. This context could also encourage the exploration of simple electronics and/or mechanical...
Inspired by Industry PTC Onshape, Inspired by Industry: PTC Onshape This context has been created to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore user centred design and innovation through the development of a robot that can improve the quality of life. The prototype outcome(s) will need to be realised in a form that can be tested and evaluated. This might simple be a mock-up with exposed parts, wires etc. to test functionality, or it could be that the prototype resembles a more commercial ‘finished’ outcome. Alternatively, CAD...
Inspired by Industry JCB, Inspired by Industry: JCB This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore the causes and effects of pollution in the environment and to design solutions to combat pollution. The context is adaptable to a wide range of applications such as waste collection, management and disposal. Some outcomes are likely to be conceptual and may not be fully working. For example, a waste compactor may focus on the mechanical operation and...
ChompSaw in Use: Project Showcase & Applications Webinar, Created by inventors for inventors the ChompSaw is a prototyping tool built for for younger makers. The ChompSaw empowers students to cut cardboard and other soft crafting materials with confidence, independence, and safety. Join us to: Meet the founding team and hear the story behind ChompSaw See how the tool works in real time — its capabilities, limitations, and ideal use cases Examples of actual projects (i.e. what young people have made with...
VEX IQ Competition Kit (2nd generation), VEX IQ is based on plastic, snap-together pieces specifically designed to build highly functional robots, primarily designed for ages 8-14. This system doesn’t require any prior knowledge in robotics. Students can easily build their first robot, and the wide variety of additional parts means that they can build anything they imagine as they continue to learn. Every kit includes a hand tool to make assembly and disassembly easy for small hands. The IQ Competition Kit makes starting a new VEX IQ Robotics Competition team...
