Differentiated outcomes ensure all learners are...
Designing Headphones Children Can Build, Hands-on learning in design and technology Kibu reimagines children’s headphones as a buildable, repairable kit rather than a disposable consumer product. Instead of arriving ready-made, the headphones are assembled by children, helping them understand how everyday technology works. Designed for classrooms and home learning, the approach supports teachers in delivering practical, engaging design and technology experiences while introducing sustainability and repairability as core principles. Kibu addresses throwaway culture in electronics. Many devices are sealed and difficult to repair, leading to waste. The kit uses snap-fit modular components and 3D printed parts...
Volunteers needed to inspire future engineers, Hands-on STEM experiences support practical learning and career inspiration The Greenpower Education Trust is calling for volunteers to help inspire the next generation of engineers through hands-on motorsport and engineering projects in schools across the UK. Working alongside experienced Greenpower Volunteer Ambassadors, volunteers support pupils as they design, build and race electric kit cars as part of the charity’s popular Formula Goblin and Formula 24 programmes. The initiatives engage pupils aged 9–16 in practical science, technology and engineering activities that bring classroom learning to life. No engineering...
VEX IQ Education Kit (2nd generation), VEX IQ is based on plastic, snap-together pieces specifically designed to build highly functional robots, primarily designed for ages 8-14. This system doesn’t require any prior knowledge in robotics. Students can easily build their first robot, and the wide variety of additional parts means that they can build anything they imagine as they continue to learn. Every kit includes a hand tool to make assembly and disassembly easy for small hands. The IQ Education Kit makes STEM manageable for teachers and fun for students! This kit is designed to build a...

Mark Preston at Heraeus Conamic , Heraeus Conamic is a global manufacturer of quartz for the semiconductor industry, fibre optics and mirrors for lasers. They have a range of processes related to the destination product. During the one-week placement I worked with engineers from a variety of disciplines, including mechanical, electronic, chemical and process. I had experience of industrial applications in a range of areas including: Health and safety Mapping (the correspondence between the layout of the controls and their required action) Materials selection and refinement One off, batch and...
Nanotechnology – Small really is beautiful, Trying to keep up with the latest advances in technologies can be a daunting and never-ending quest, and it is often tempting to take stock and try to understand what we have, rather than chase the latest development or trend. In my house I’m last in line to inherit the hand-me-down phone or tablet and while I constantly urge myself to keep up with what’s next, I sometimes take refuge in what I’ve got and what works for me. Then I go and research some emerging technologies and associated gadgets and suddenly...
Sustainability Series: Foldable Bike Helmet, Bike safety is something young people can relate to, whether they cycle themselves or are learning about road safety and personal responsibility. With more pupils using bikes and e-scooters, now is a great time to explore how design and technology can make everyday travel safer and more sustainable. Reimagining the bike helmet The Newlane helmet is a UK-designed, foldable cycling helmet that offers a practical solution to a common problem: traditional helmets are safe, but bulky and difficult to carry. This innovative product folds to half its size (just 81mm in...
Rethinking Classrooms, A new whitepaper published by TSL (Technology Supplies) sheds light on the urgent need to modernise Design and Technology and STEAM learning spaces across the UK. Titled ‘The Impact of Learning Spaces on Design and Technology Education’, the report highlights widespread dissatisfaction among teachers with their current teaching environments. It also points towards solutions and funding opportunities that could transform the future of technical education. Backed by extensive research and feedback from teachers, technicians, and school leaders, the whitepaper reveals that over one-third of D&T teachers are unhappy with their current spaces. Issues like outdated equipment,...
