“The Scalextric for Schools programme was originally conceived to give youngsters an opportunity to get involved in the world of design, manufacture and innovation so that they might follow that on into their career. The innovation shown by Teachers and pupils alike has been just amazing. The modern concepts of design, optimisation, rapid prototyping, materials, reliability all coming together in a competitive environment with the ever popular race-car theme. I’m delighted that the scheme is growing in popularity and using our CAD/CAM software which is freely available to anyone participating in the scheme”.

“ My Highlight was when 4 pupils came to me standing neatly in a row and said” “Please Sir, we’d like to know how we get into a career in design”? A truly priceless moment that made it all worthwhile. Roger French
