Tech Stuff
for School Science Technicians
Last updated 23rd May 2002.
It's about
days until we break up for the Summer Holiday. I think.
Page created & maintained (badly and infrequently) by science technician Séamus King, Old Hall School, Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
A source for school science technicians, a place to exchange ideas, to gripe about teachers,
useful educational links, links to manufacturers & suppliers and maybe some other stuff too.
Updated 23rd May 2002. I really must get around to updating this page properly. Doh!!!
