FULLY-SUPPORTED LESSON PLANS
The teacher's pack contains eight lesson plans, worksheets and supporting information for the teacher, explaining how the lessons relate to design engineering to Dyson.
VIDEOS
SUPPORTING VIDEOS
The videos include interviews with a range of Dyson engineers who work in different areas of engineering. Students will learn about the breadth of engineering disciplines, find out more about the engineer's role, how they got into engineering, and what they do day-to-day. Also included are video guides to help with taking apart the Dyson vacuum cleaner accessories – as well as putting them back together.
