Digital learning resources
Working with schools and other environmental education charities, we have developed a range of freely available resources that can be used to support learning activities for all ages in the classroom and the community.
Many of our resources are designed to be used in conjunction with a demonstration of one of our interactive models. The demonstrations for the mini hydraulic flume, coastal wave tank and augmented reality sandbox are also available as short films on our YouTube channel.

We are always looking for opportunities to share these training resources. If you think the models could be useful for your work with students, professional groups or communities then please contact us to discuss how we could share our models or come to you to deliver a demonstration. Alternatively, if you would like to use these physical models to support training that you deliver, they are available to hire.
