Welcome to the SSERC Technology Resource Page

Scotland has strong and proud tradition of excellence and innovation across a wide range of fields from engineering, electronics, optoelectronics, biomedical research to genomics and cell engineering.

The Scottish Technology curriculum offers children and young people the framework to develop the skills and knowledge necessary for today’s world and to shape their future environment.

The curriculum is designed to provide them with a range of challenging activities, which involves problem solving, exploration of new concepts, skills, materials and creating products through real life applications. It assists in developing creativity and entrepreneurial skills, encouraging them to become innovative and critical designers of the future.

The SSERC Technology team’s key role is to support this curricular framework through assisting in matters of Health and Safety, relevant training and resources for education officers, teachers, student teachers and technicians.

SSERC offers this support across all 32 Local Authorities and independent school members.
