Few subjects have experienced as D&T has, such support and growth followed by mismanagement, neglect and implosion. I have written about this for @hardy_alison alongside a proposal for an alternative future as the existing model would appear beyond repair.

@caschat_uk @microbit_edu Plastic takeaway tubs for crumbles, power leads separate (in order to ‘remind’ pupils where they need to be connected). Thinking about a little ‘rig’ inside the tubs that secures key components to reduce loss.

Whiteboard marker on lid if pupils spot missing components!
