Bringing manufacturing into the classroom
The one-day summit is designed to connect education and industry through expert speakers, real-world case studies and interactive discussions. For design and technology teachers, this provides an opportunity to see how emerging technologies are being used in manufacturing and consider how these developments can inform curriculum content and classroom activities.
Sessions will explore innovations across areas including automation, digital transformation, data, connectivity and artificial intelligence, alongside the changing skills and roles within the manufacturing sector. Teachers can gain practical insight into how industry is evolving and take away ideas that can be applied to teaching and learning.
The event also provides opportunities to connect with industry specialists and other professionals, supporting conversations around curriculum development, STEM engagement and future careers.
