One of the most acute lacunae in our school system is the absence of quality printed materials for teachers and students to supplement the textbooks. The lack of such resources probably contributes to the authoritarian and bookish approach to learning that is often seen in the classroom. HBCSE therefore, gives a lot of importance to the production of co-curricular and other resource materials.

Development of Resource Sheets and Posters
The Design and Technology Laboratory aims to be an informal and interactive workspace where students can access a range of activities, materials and resources. Here, students are introduced to some basic D&T activities through informal exploration. Some of these activities that are theoretically grounded in the research carried out at HBCSE and elsewhere, while others are more exploratory in nature and promote creative pursuits. Accompanying these activities are some resource sheets and posters we have developed which can be printed on A3 or A4 paper. If you plan to set up similar activities in your laboratory, you can keep these resource sheets along side each activity. They will explain the activity and give a brief background to why this activity is useful.
You can download D&T laboratory resource sheets from the Resources page.
Also, check out some of our earlier resources here.
