| We are always looking to improve the quality and effectiveness of Imagineering programmes. Feedback and interaction are key contributors to this process. |
| |
| Tool & Kit Committee meets every 4 – 6 weeks to deal with: |
- quality issues and changes
- reviewing new model/project ideas, tools
- arranging development and testing where necessary
- discuss sourcing
|
| Forum on this website is to enable wider tutor and Clubs community to participate – so please post your views, experiences and ideas. |
| |
| Guidelines for prioritising when changes involve work/cost for implementation: |
- Critical problems affecting safety or ability to complete models by the children
- Proposer has done groundwork - practical trials, photographs, investigated sourcing and design change implications including cost, drafted changes to Instructions and Tutor's notes
- Proposals with a well argued case, some practical evidence, but significant further work needed for full implementation
- Critical comments without specific proposals; suggestions that can be incorporated when stocks are used up and with other changes.
Use the Forum polling mechanism to see how others view proposals. |
