One of the new lines may just help out D&T teachers when planning a lesson on sustainability. In fact, we can't think of a material more suited to talk about when exploring eco-friendly design materials.
New Product News - Cork (With Introductory Coupon Code):
When planning a lesson on raw material sustainability then there is NO other material that is better suited to serving as a positive example. The Cork industry is regarded as being very environmentally friendly. The tree that the bark comes from continues to grow and thrive after the bark is removed. Cork is also 100% recyclable, AND, can be used as an alternative to leather. Not only is cork the best material for a 'cork' for bottles, it also has by far the smallest carbon footprint when compared to any other type of bottle stopper material.

Reintroduction Product News - Grey Frosted Perspex Sheets:
Due to supply issues, we were unable to continue supplying two lines of grey frosted perspex sheets. We are pleased to announce that both sheet sizes are back in stock and back on the website.
This frosted 3mm Stone Grey Perspex Acrylic Sheet is available in two sizes; 3mm x 1000mm x 600mm and 3mm x 600mm x 400mm. The surface of the sheet has a double-sided matt surface which gives an effect similar to that of sandblasted or etched glass. The frosted texture is retained after thermoforming. Frosted Perspex is translucent, allowing light to pass through, but unlike transparent Perspex, it obscures details of objects behind it.

New Resources News - The Kitronik University And The The Parent's Complete Guide:
Our microbit resources have been reorganised recently and have had a major new addition to the fold. The existing resources have been grouped together under more descriptive headings, that should make it much easier to find the resources you want.
We noticed that there was a gap in our available resources and produced the Parent's Complete Guide to the microbit to fill it. It has been specifically produced to help parents get involved in assisting their children to learn to code. It provides a little history, information on what the microbit is, how to power it, and how to write code for it. The guide will give you the knowledge and the confidence you'll need to get your children off to a flying start with coding.
