Coming soonDesign & Technology
The design cycle from first sketch to tested prototype - investigating a problem, developing ideas, making, and evaluating honestly.
Modelling to make
Coming soon3D Design & Printing
Modelling parts that can actually be built - wall thickness, tolerances, supports and slicing, then printing and iterating on what comes out.
VEX and LEGO
Coming soonRobotics
Building and programming machines that sense, decide and act - motors, sensors and control logic, working towards competition.

Credits and use
A teaching resource, freely shared
This site was built by David Praveen for his own students, as somewhere to revise and practise. It is a supplementary study and practice resource - free to use, never sold, and a companion to classroom teaching and the official syllabus rather than a replacement for either.
It is an independent resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in partnership with Cambridge. Cambridge's own documents are the authority on what is examined; where anything here disagrees with them, they are right and this site is wrong.
Notes and lesson pages are written from Mr David's own teaching material. Some explainer videos and practice sheets were made by other people and are included for teaching purposes, with their sources credited alongside. All rights in that material stay with whoever created it.
If you own something used here and would like it credited differently or taken down, please write to [email protected] and it will be dealt with promptly.
