What's in the tool?
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

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).
