New Contexts Released , We are pleased to announce the release of three more design contexts as part of our ‘Inspired by Industry’ initiative. These free resources are tailored for Key Stage 3 students, providing teachers with editable materials that blend real industry challenges with curriculum requirements. Explore the new contexts: KI Europe – Minimising Parts This context explores reducing components in furniture design while maintaining strength and functionality. Students can experiment with a range of materials, including timbers, metals, and 3D-printed components. Techniques like lamination, generative design, and destructive testing...
New KS3 Context Launch: Celebrating Success with Pentagram, We are excited to launch a brand new ‘Inspired by Industry’ context to coincide with the start of the Premier League season: ‘Celebrating Success’, created in collaboration with Pentagram, the world’s largest independent design agency and the creative team behind the UEFA Europa Conference League Trophy. This free KS3 resource invites students to reimagine what it means to recognise achievement, drawing inspiration from Pentagram’s own design process for a major sporting trophy. Using the five stages of the design cycle – empathise, define, ideate, prototype, and test –...

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. CAD - learn how to use a canvas in 3D CAD programs (PTC Onshape used as an example) to design an ergonomic controller. CAM - this will cover how to use a 3D printer to output the design of your controller, featuring examples from Scalextric. Digital sketching -...
Washing Machine Project, 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. Fold Up Airer - This Focused Task allows for the exploration of a range of elements including knowledge and exploration of mechanical systems such as linkages as well as potential CAD use, modelling and testing. Making Pegs - This Focused Task focuses on using CAD software to create pegs for washing lines. This can...
Inspired by Industry KI Europe, Inspired by Industry: KI Europe This context explores reducing components in furniture design while maintaining strength and functionality. Students can experiment with a range of materials, including timbers, metals, and 3D-printed components. Techniques like lamination, generative design, and destructive testing can also be incorporated. The challenge aligns with the ‘Furniture Makers’ Company’ student competition, inspiring innovative approaches to furniture solutions such as lightweight camping gear, multifunctional furniture, or slot-together components. Log in or join the Association and add this to your basket. This classroom resource is free so there will be no...
Inspired by Industry Else, Inspired by Industry: Else This context encourages students to explore design solutions to combat loneliness, allowing for both digital and physical products or a combination of the two. The focus is on user interaction (UI/UX), with opportunities to develop apps, interactive devices, or lifestyle products that foster social connection and engagement. Students can experiment with a variety of materials and technologies, including CAD, rapid prototyping, and digital interfaces. Potential outcomes range from talking toys and cooperative games to mental well-being apps and interactive devices. This project can be adapted for group work or...
