Our partners

We are delighted that the City Learning Centres across Merseyside have been so supportive of the Competition and are helping communicate our message.

As you know there are some excellent D&T facilities available in the CLCs.
The facilities can be accessed by schools to support submissions for Design Show Liverpool School’s competition:

 



Campion CLC
Offering a range of design and technology facilities for schools, Campion CLC has access to industry-standard software and hardware. Their Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/CAM) facilities include laser cutting, 3D colour printing, dye sublimation for graphics and textiles, plus printing facilities using edible ink products. On site support includes a design and technology consultant who is also ProDesktop-accredited. This innovative use of hardware has supported many cross-curricular projects including a recent primary school project which saw students designing replica stained glass windows using acrylic.
