The virtual pie factory was commissioned by the National Association for Teachers of Home Economics & Technology (NATHE) to educate children on factory production.

The project was successfully sent to schools across the country with the idea being to bring the factory to the schools, as it is becoming increasingly difficult for children to get access to UK factories, given all the health and safety issues.
