We would love to welcome your students onto this innovative STEM programme! Our graduates have gone on to study engineering at Oxbridge, start their own businesses, and enrol on degree apprenticeship schemes. Please share this with any interested students and teachers. The Maker Challenge is open to everyone - future engineers, those struggling at school, those who love design, and making novices.
Do you teach DT or Product Design?
Making Great Designs is a PDF teacher resource pack created to support GCSE students in their non-exam assessments in DT and Product Design.

The Makerspace Manual is a book for teachers, students and anyone who has an itch to make and create. It’s packed full of the lessons we’ve learned in setting up the Dangoor Reach Out Makerspace in White City, our work with young people and our passion for making, as well as useful resources, making projects and careers guidance. The publication's goal is to encourage STEM activities and a more hands-on, alternative way of learning in a makerspace environment at schools in the UK.
