When you stop and think about it, virtually everything around us has been designed and engineered in some way. Linking teachers and students in schools with a variety of industries is paramount, highlighting inspiring career paths, adding valuable context to learning and ensuring future UK economic growth.
As one of our 33,000 UK and International members, we will provide you with access to services and products that will enable teachers to deliver excellent design and technology at every educational stage, giving young people the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes (sometimes called ‘soft skills’) needed when entering the workplace. You will be health and safety compliant and have access to and become involved with training and advocacy. Design and technology is our future. That’s why it must be front and centre of our educational system.
