"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.

 

"Our project on the circus would have been extremely difficult without the accuracy that Inventa ensures. The pupils were able to make some very complex mechanisms and by being able to use a wide range of materials with Inventa they could give full rein to their imagination."

Trevor Thompson , Primary Head Teacher, Lincolnshire.

 

"Good value for money. The starter pack is very comprehensive and provides an extensive range of interlinking components.
