Spearheaded by The Washing Machine Project, this initiative encourages people of all ages to hand wash clothes for a few minutes, gaining first-hand experience of a daily chore that millions around the world, especially women and girls, shoulder every day. The Global Burden of Handwashing ...
Foster + Partners leads Trailblazer Group to launch new Model Maker Apprenticeship , Foster + Partners has chaired a Trailblazer Group to develop the UK’s first Model Maker Apprenticeship Standard, in collaboration with a range of creative companies, universities, and the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE). Approved in July, the three-year programme is a level 6 qualification, which is equivalent to a bachelor's degree. Apprentices will have the opportunity to learn modelmaking in a workplace environment, with additional training provided by an associated university. They are exempt from paying tuition fees and...
Sustainability Series - Investigating types of pollution with JCB, The ‘Inspired by Industry’ JCB context is supported by a dedicated Investigative Evaluative Activity (IEA) unit available for members, all about the different types of pollution. This classroom resource helps students explore the causes, types and effects of pollution, while encouraging them to design practical solutions to tackle these issues. The unit covers how harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), released during manufacturing processes, contribute to global warming. Students are guided to think critically about how these pollutants affect the environment
VEX Robotics UK Finals, Our Director of Education Ryan Ball was thrilled to attend the first day of the VEX Robotics UK Finals. This marks his second attendance at the event, and he continues to be astounded by the talent and dedication displayed by the participating students. Reflecting on the experience, Ryan expressed admiration for the range of skills showcased throughout the competition. From intense sprinting to team camaraderie, from quick problem-solving to high-fives of celebration, the event was a testament to the students' commitment and passion for robotics. He remarked, "There...
Inspired by Industry Lamb Industries, Inspired by Industry: Lamb Industries This context is designed to provide students with opportunities to explore accessible product design, focusing on gardening but adaptable to various applications. While no specific material focus, the emphasis on durable materials like metals, timbers, and polymers is noted for functional gardening equipment. However, students are encouraged to use modelling materials for prototyping and soft modelling tools for experimenting with organic forms related to comfort and ergonomics. The potential outcomes may be conceptual, such as modelled garden implements or storage systems, allowing for testing without full...
Inspired by Industry Lisi Aerospace, Inspired by Industry: Lisi Aerospace This context has been put together to allow for a range of opportunities for students to explore how they can reduce the weight of an object whilst maintaining its strength. Whilst the company (Lisi) focuses on the creation of fixings for the aerospace industry, the same intent could be adapted for a range of applications where a lightweight but strong solution is required. The outcomes are prototypes but will require testing in terms of their function and performance as well as being measurable in terms of size

Project structure and deliveryAges 11-14 YearsFirst published 2014 This programme, supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, aims to improve the speaking and listening skills of Key Stage 3 students through delivery of a D&T project. For full details of the project go to the Improving speaking and listening skills through D&T projects page. This outlines the characteristics of the project and how delivery might be structured in school, including analysis...
Quick Step: Making a Case for..., This handy guide supports you in putting forward the case for a number of issues that you might need to address in your class and department. It is sectioned into areas that can sometimes be difficult to address, including better funding, appropriate class sizes, adequate technician time, CPD, new technologies, broader option choices, curriculum equality, and raising the perceived status and value of D&T. I has guidance on presenting formal and informal reports to support your needs in moving things forward and includes advice on setting out arguments
Member only Tasks and Activities, Focused Tasks FTs are where students are taught specific technical knowledge, designing skills and making skills. This may be a quick whole-class making activity, learning a new CAD programme, exploring polymers, or much more. Collaborate - this Focused Task explores collaboration exercises using traditional methods (Post-its / white boards) and also digital online programs (Miro). Choke Tester Tube – get students to produce a CAD drawing of a child’s choke tester tube from a working drawing, or follow step by step on your 3D CAD program...
New Blades 2025 Celebrates the Next Generation of Modelmakers, This year’s New Blades Exhibition, hosted by 4D Modelshop, was a fantastic showcase of graduate modelmaking work. We dropped into the exhibition yesterday and were seriously impressed with the level of talent and imagination from this year’s cohort. From film props to projects focused on conservation, it was clear just how broad and exciting modelmaking is. The variety was huge, but what really stood out was how thoughtful the work was – this new wave of makers aren’t just technically skilled, they’re thinking hard about what...
