As colleagues and
friends will remember, Teaching Resources started life supporting local schools
and in-service events. It has now grown into a much larger self-funded organisation
within Middlesex University, but its central aim remains that of supporting
design and technology teachers during times of very rapid change. We work closely
with the Technology
Enhancement Programme (TEP) and the rapidly emerging Science
Enhancement Programme (SEP) - and make special mention here of the
generosity of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation which has facilitated the outstanding
work of these initiatives.
Middlesex University Teaching Resources (MUTR), was pleased
to support the Gatsby-funded Science Year Gift launched by the Royal Society.
The move from cottage
industry to the much larger organisation has not been easy, but we continue
to be magnificently supported by the patience and enthusiasm of our ?customers?
and of Middlesex University. As this new website will demonstrate, we want to
help drive our subject forward, but at the same time retain the vital skills
that enable young people to engage with materials and turn ideas into real products.
We remain committed to innovation and service ahead of profit, and we hope you will enjoy looking through these pages and seeing the new things on offer, both to educational and home users, many of which have been suggested by you.
On behalf of all at Teaching Resources and Middlesex, we wish you every success for the new academic year.
Here at MUTR we offer our
commercial/wholesale partners a full science product development service. With
our considerable in-house technical experience and custom facilities situated
within the Middlesex University campus we offer a complete service from concept,
development, testing, production, design and packaging.
We are proud to be associated with such famous and well loved institutions as
The Science Museum, The Natural History Museum and The Victoria and Albert Museum;
to name but a few.
