[Design and Technology] useful video

[Craig Abernethy]

Dear Colleagues
                If you are looking for an educational video that the students will engage in, I suggest you show them James May's show on building a Lego House (full scale).  He uses constructional engineers, a design team, material testing and follows a lot of the principles of the design process. There is also information about patents and copyrights and meeting building standards. It's also very interesting and enjoyable to watch.

Now someone is going to tell that it is a breach of copyright to show to a class, aren't they!

You can buy the whole collection of his shows at the ABC shop for $29.

Regards Craig
