Equipment and funding

Most activities require only everyday items, but some projects will require more expensive or specialist materials. How do we ensure that this doesn't disadvantage people?

Help is available: listed below are funding options to mitigate project costs and free apps to support learning where equipment is not available. We also identify low-cost educational suppliers.
