Design and TechnologyStills from our new series

The FixiesThis series follows the comical misadventures of 10-year‐old Tom Thomas and his secret friendship with Simka and Nolik, the children of the Fixie family that live in his apartment. Each episode explores a scientific concept while combining elements of design and technology as well as personal development.

The AirbagLearn how airbags and other safety mechanisms in cars keep us safe from harm. The Professor makes an airbag that does not deflate and realises that there are problems with this. He does not give up, but instead considers how to make the airbag better and creates a mechanism that makes it deflate as well.
