Design and make projects

Help inspire the engineers and physicists of the future!

A few years ago I started a technology club at my sons' school, each week coming up with new and exciting projects using cheap and recycled materials, so that the children could take their creations home to keep. Before long the waiting list was bigger than the actual club! In order to give more children the chance to have a go, I have written and illustrated these books giving details of how to complete our favourite projects and challenges, plus a brief explanation of the science behind them.
