Is MDF safe to use in school workshops? , Much media attention has been drawn towards MDF and the hazards associated with its use in schools, although there is no evidence that calls for it to be removed entirely from use in schools, it’s use does raise serious concerns. Hardwood dust is classified in COSHH as carcinogenic, and softwood is now a suspect carcinogen, although not defined as such in COSHH. Thus under risk assessment procedures substitution by natural wood may not eliminate the problem. ...
KS3 Evaluate Curriculum Units, KS3 Evaluate Curriculum Units Exclusive to D&T Association members, these resources support the teaching of evaluation skills through the study of famous designers, iconic products, and key design movements. They also guide students in analysing existing products to strengthen their own design process. More units are added regularly.

Inspired by Industry Thrive Wearables, Inspired by Industry: Thrive Wearable TechnologyThis context has been put together to allow a range of opportunities for students to explore modern technology through the use of wearable technology. The outcomes are to be conceptual and may not be fully working. For example, if a heart monitor was to be explored, the prototype may detect movement such as with an accelerometer in a micro:bit or a tilt-switch for a Crumble. Whilst this may not be a true representation of how it is done,
E.ON Safety at Night Programming and Control, Ages 9-11 This upper Key Stage 2 programming and control resource made in collaboration with E.ON, encourages pupils to explore the context of keeping safe at night through user-centred design and practical problem solving. The project introduces pupils to contextual design approaches, allowing them to investigate real-world problems before developing and prototyping their own solutions. Using Crumble controllers, or alternatively micro:bit, pupils explore programming and control through a focused practical task where they create and...

Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies, Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies Year 5-6Age 9-11 First published 2011 This project is adapted from unit 5D and focuses on developing children’s skills, knowledge and understanding of food, building on previous learning in which children prepared food products using simple processes. Children learn how to adapt a basic recipe to develop a product with specified criteria. Investigation of existing products, including fair trade, will inform design ideas. There are opportunities to apply maths by measuring accurately, converting measures and applying ratio
Crumble – Servo with crumbliser, Crumble – Servo with crumbliser A custom crumbliser (small circuit board) is included so you can connect the servo to a Crumble with croc-leads and get started straight away. The SG92R digital servo is the new version of TowerPro’s SG90. The SG92R micro-servos are recommended for use with the Crumble as it has less buzz and jitter. Prices include VAT. If you add these items to your Crumble (Starter Pack, Class Pack or Switch Pack) order no additional P&P...

PrintLabs curriculum content and resources are exceptional, and we have seen so many schools excited about what a well-constructed CAD/Manufacturing curriculum can do for their students. As always, we...
Inspired by Industry Fussy, This context encourages students to explore sustainability, materials, and product design, focusing on the environmental impact of manufacturing. It provides opportunities to discuss plastics and their alternatives, such as bamboo, wood, and recycled materials, while considering user habits and design challenges. Outcomes may be conceptual or practical, including refillable packaging, bathroom organisers, or fabric-based designs. The project promotes creative freedom, allowing students to experiment with CAD, prototyping, and sustainable decision-making. Schools can adapt the theme to suit their curriculum, fostering a deeper...
