Examination reform, I can’t wait!, Some 25 years on from the moment in history that Richard Kimbell was referring to, I wonder if we are at the brink of another defining moment in the history of the subject. Perhaps lacking quite the same impact and gravitas, nevertheless, with the impending publication of the new Design and Technology GCSE specifications, finally, and after all these years, we may be able to shed the endorsed titles including ‘resistant materials’ and ‘graphic products’ and begin to refer to the subject itself, design and technology. For...
Free KS3 Resources, ‘Inspired by Industry’ is a set of design contexts to address the ever-changing needs of the Design and Technology curriculum. Rather than take a ‘project-driven approach to designing and making, they each start with 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. All follow a common design-thinking approach shown below. The contexts are editable and are a starting point for...

Help Shape the Future of KS3 D&T, We are delighted with the download figures for our Inspired by Industry contexts and by the verbal feedback received from so many schools and department leaders to date. We worked closely with business and industry to create these resources in order to help change some of the pedagogy at KS3 away from fixating on "finished products" and more on a way of helping students to think and work. We have secured funding from Enginuity, AtkinsRéalis and AssetTagz to engage Nottingham Trent University to...
What’s new... and how to deal with it, Most of us are now aware of the changes to design and technology resulting from the National Curriculum review in England, but just how well are we doing in terms of preparing for implementing these changes by September? As teachers begin to explore the new programmes of study (PoS), we have received a number of calls and emails at the Association from teachers with responsibility for leading D&T and developing their schemes of work. Quite understandably some are expressing concern and requesting help. In...

How should we teach ‘exploded diagrams’ to children in KS2?, First, show children some examples of exploded diagrams e.g. those provided by a DIY store or used to assemble a model with a construction kit. Discuss the fact that exploded diagrams help when we want to show people the parts or components of the product we are designing, how they fit together and the order of assembly. If safe and possible, ask children to disassemble a relevant, existing product (and make sure they are able to reassemble it afterwards!) Alternatively, if they can’t actually disassemble a...
Building Services Engineering, Building Services EngineeringAges 11-14First released 2018 These free resources have been developed with the support of CIBSE Patrons at the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers, to help students understand roles and career paths into the industry. For many people, the services inside buildings – heat, power, ventilation, security and environmental systems – are invisible. Young people are often unaware of how exciting and rewarding building services engineering careers can be, and what an impact BSE design decisions have on our planet. These resources include video case...
