The Royal Academy of Engineering explores cyber control through this activity pack, looking at networks of connected devices. It covers:

• The benefits of devices connected via the internet and scenarios to consider
• The dangers of hacking
• A programming task using the micro:bit using...

This report from Ofsted looks at the provision for excluded pupils. Schools and local authorities are required to provide full-time and suitable education for pupils from day six of fixed-period and permanent exclusions. This survey evaluates the extent to which a sample of schools and local authorities were...

• Information about how Little Big Futures can be integrated into STEM Clubs
• Guidance for effective...

Design Club is a social enterprise set up to help children become design thinkers. We create industry-standard resources to help people run design thinking clubs and workshops for 9-13 year olds.

This set of resources contains everything you need to run a Design Club taster project: worksheets, a delivery...

In these resources, learners will create a prototype food temperature probe using the micro:bit. The product must be able to provide a warning when the food is too cold to eat.

Learners will create a prototype food temperature probe...

In these activities, learners will look at the requirements for a good home security system and develop their own programmable alarm system.

In these activities, learners will create a prototype score counter and integrate the micro:bit programmable system.

Using the micro:bit, learners will create a prototype score counter. Learners must ensure the product is accurate, well...

In this challenge, students are asked to evaluate an existing product – a step counter or pedometer. They then create a step counter to encourage healthier lifestyles among teenagers. It is based on a BBC micro:bit device which includes an accelerometer capable of detecting ‘shake events’. These events are then...

Inspired by the Born to Engineer video from Mathew Holloway, this resource uses the Crumble controller, setting students a design challenge that sees them create their own umbilical controlled buggy that can navigate small spaces. Although specific to the Crumble controller, this resource could be used as a design...

The dice uses sparkles and a code to make them flash randomly. What is the probability of the same numbers being picked and does that mean it is truly random? It is also relevant here to think about nets and dice shape.

This set of three mini-interactive online games from Siemens explore a variety of digital industries:

• Cybersecurity
• Internet of Things
• Digital Twins
