The pack of 36 cards has already been developed to be used for school as reference cards, illustrating the properties of Metals, Polymers, Natural Materials and Ceramic. In later stage, all 36 cards will be revised and be recognised by our state-of-the-art 'Augmented reality' tool.

How is this tool linked to the schools curricula in UK ?
The cards are a useful reference alongside for the Jet-Engine Designer Challenge and images of the cards are used to illustrate material properties within the Journey Through a Jet Engine.

They help younger students to differentiate between different materials classes (metals, ceramics, polymers, natural materials).
