"The children made something of which they are truly proud
and which matches their expectations - all too often when constructingsomething
like this in the past, inaccurate methods and unavailability of the right
equipment has meant the abandonment of the projector at best a 'making
do' kind of end product. Certainly the Inventa equipment and materials
that we have trialled have put an end to that and what's more have boosted
our confidence." Alison Jones, Primary School Teacher, Lincolnshire.
The aspect that clinched it for me was the degree of thought
that has gone into the range of low cost tools, with which children can
build accurately and confidently." Chris Drage, Journalist and Primary School Teacher, London.
