Design & Technology Workshops
Most of my workshops are based on QCA Scheme of Work topics....
I can work with classes of up to 30. Every pupil in the class makes their own model/toy.
Costs quoted includes all materials including batteries and motors where applicable
Discounts available if more than one workshop booked in a day and for small groups (under 20)
All the classroom needs to supply are scissors, pencils/coloured pencils/pens.
Most of the workshops need an hour and a half if possible. I can deliver up to 3 in a day.
Most of the materials and components I use are also available from the 'Technology Shop'.

My background:
My name is Paul Newham. I have been working in the field of science & technology education for over 30 years and have been delivering workshops in primary schools for over 19 years. I was based at the South London Science & Technology Centre in Camberwell for 26 years and set up the 'Technology Shop' there. Following the closure of the SLSTC I have now relocated to Ivydale Primary School and run the shop service from there and deliver workshops to schools anywhere within the M25.
