Technology Resources
Primary and Secondary School Technology Resources.
Our aim here at SATRO is to inspire and enthuse young people in their understanding of STEM subjects and careers.  Our activities and events encourage students to challenge their perceptions and look at new innovative ways of thinking as they learn.

Our team have selected this material for you with those aims in mind.  We hope it will continue to inspire your interest in STEM.

Introduction to Technology
Technology is the skills, methods, and processes used to achieve goals. People can use Technology to: 
  • Produce goods or services
  • Carry out goals, such as scientific investigation or sending a spaceship to the moon
  • Solve problems, such as disease or famine
Technology can be knowledge of how to do things. Sometimes, people embed Technology in machines. This lets others use the machines without knowing how they work.
