This realisation became the starting point for Ceramegg, a project that transforms calcium-rich waste into biodegradable material that is both functional and beautiful. Understanding the problem: eggshell waste Eggshells may seem small, but the scale of waste...

Cutting-edge knife safety transforms the design and technology classroom, Safety is a top priority in every design and technology classroom. Craft knives are essential tools for cutting card, foam, and thin wood, but even with supervision, accidents can happen, particularly when students are still developing confidence and handling skills. Automatically retracting blade knives are helping to change that. These innovative tools extend only when pressure is applied and retract instantly when released, dramatically reducing the risk of accidental cuts. For teachers, this means greater confidence in letting students work independently...
