"Technology for Life" is all about the impact that science and engineering make to the world of health.

The programme is split into four topic zones, each concentrating on a specific area of engineering and technology that is helping to save lives.

Each topic zone is fully integrated and packed with curriculum linked resources for 11–16 year olds to help you engage and inspire your students in STEM subjects:

  • Videos (15 mins) – introduce your students to real-world science and technology with our eye-opening short videos
  • Short starter activities (10–15 mins) – quick, engaging introductions that lead you to the body of your lesson
  • Main lesson activities (45–90 mins) – full lessons on each of the four topic areas with practical extension activities
  • Games (10 –15 mins) – let your students take control of cutting-edge technology in our interactive games
  • Quizzes (10–15 mins) – quick, online, multiple-choice quizzes containing questions about the videos and curriculum subject matter
  • Challenges – compete with other schools, to win £££s in our lesson-based challenges and vote online for your favourite entries.
