Rapid Education enjoyed a record-breaking year at BETT 2014, the UK's leading technology in education show. With programming and coding set to become part of the National Curriculum in September for children from the age of 5, there was huge interest in our products, especially the VEX and VEX IQ robotics platforms.
As
Paul Barran, Rapid Education's Business Development Manager, said: “VEX and VEX IQ are
perfect solutions as they teach programming and design through the C and Autodesk
packages. At Rapid we pride ourselves at staying at the cutting edge of
technology for schools and giving something back with our work co-ordinating
and supporting national competitions."
"It
was great to see so many of our existing customers and potential new ones over
the course of the four days, and check out some of the incredibly exciting
things that are happening in educational tech."
Here are some images and tweets from our time at the show.

Proformic liquid plastic is so multi-functional that it can be difficult to identify what is its greatest characteristic.
Is it its ability to bond, seal, fill and repair at high speed in demanding industrial environments, or the fact that by adding successive layers of the substance it can be moulded into a 3D surface? Of all we are sure is the potential of this liquid plastic to fill those of you who spend many of your days fastening with surprise, excitement and awe.
The other key player in the Proformic story is UV light. The unique properties of the resin are triggered by the UV light source, which is available as a module which can be fitted to the opposite end of the Proformic application pen. After applying the plastic, simply turn the pen over, hold it close to the affected area and squeeze the UV module to apply the light. Then repeat the process as many times as required to create the seal, bond or filling you need.
Launched in Europe last year, Proformic quickly impressed audiences at trade shows and seminars. Whether it is the speed at which it cures, the ease with which it can be manipulated or the strength it possesses, Proformic delivers where other sealants fail. The resin dries to a light yellow and can be sanded, milled, polished and painted after curing.
