Description

A stockpile for the classroom

Educational and Dacta was the education arm that made material for schools and learning groups. With 1,730 pieces the Technology Resource Set falls into the large-set category, and it is more a pool of parts than a model with a fixed target. The name says it: it supplies the resources from which students and tinkerers develop their own technical constructions. For anyone who collects technical bricks it offers a rich mix that suits a wide range of projects.

Light grey, black, red and blue

The main colours are light grey, black, red and blue. That suits technical constructions: light grey and black for frames and components, red and blue as splashes of colour. With 94 types across 1,730 pieces the variety is moderate, and each type appears a good eighteen times on average. That points to many standard elements from which larger constructions can be assembled. For group work this is handy, since several teams can work with the same part types at the same time.

Build, tinker, display

There is no minifigure; the construction itself is the focus. For children and teenagers the set can be an introduction to technical thinking, since they have to find solutions on their own. Adult collectors often value it as a solid stock of bricks that can feed into other projects. As a display piece it is less suitable, because it shows no finished model. Its strength lies in rebuilding and experimenting. Plan for enough space for sorting and storage.

Parts list and reuse

The parts list on this page shows all 94 types with their quantities. That helps you check for completeness if you bought the set second-hand or own it from an older collection. “What can I build?” shows which models you can make with these parts and the rest of your bricks. With such a large pool of parts there are often more possibilities than you would expect at first glance into the box.
