Get Started with 'Inspired by Industry'

'Inspired by Industry’ is a set of design contexts to address the ever-changing needs of the design and technology curriculum. Supporting students with an approach familiar at Key Stage 4, students have a level of autonomy, tackling a real-world design context provided by an industry partner of the Design & Technology Association. The contexts are authentic to the companies providing them with opportunities for teachers to use these with students. The contexts are editable and are a starting point for you to focus your teaching of Design and Technology. We have worked with top companies in industry, in sectors including toys and games, healthcare, aerospace, femtech and more. With support materials, videos and downloads, see how these can fit into, or help shape your Key Stage 3 offering and help inspire students and offer opportunities to innovate, problem-solve and manufacture like top engineering, design and manufacturing companies.
