What people say...

“
”

The KS3 Innovation through iterative design unit has not only relieved the stress and pressure of needing to re-plan the whole curriculum to teach remotely but also inspired me to introduce more experimental design approaches for KS4.

Class worksheets and homework sheets are particularly helpful - they link well to the content of the presentation and are easy to read/follow.
