"Inventa uses familiar materials and techniques, but the
components remove the frustrating problems we experienced in making
things work. Now we can concentrate on exploring technology through
creative, worthwhile activities, not fiddling to get things to fit
together and work." Pete Jewett, Secondary Technology Teacher, London.
Inventa components fit together easily and neatly. They also integrate
with your other design and make materials. You use as little or as much
Inventa as you wish, to ensure smooth running mechanisms and well designed
structures. Designs are made faster and more efficiently, yet at the same
time follow sound engineering principles.
Inventa comprises:
Plastic components (gears, pulleys, winches etc)
Raw materials (woodstrip, dowel, etc)
Support materials (Inventa Book of Mechanisms, worksheets etc).
Designed to support good practice and sound technological ideas, it has
received the DATA seal of approval.
