The 'Small is ...' challenge



A design challenge for students aged 7 to 14


Students look at technologies from the last 100 years and invent a product that could help us lead a more sustainable future. A free two metre long full colour technology timeline provides a great starting point for a display of pupils work and is available free upon request.  Other supporting material includes a Power Point presentation and student worksheets.
