Created by Tom Flude and the Engineers Insight team, the series aims to inspire the next generation of engineers by giving students an authentic look inside UK factories. Tom said “Someone needs to change the perception of Manufacturing and make people feel proud to be an engineer. Through our partnership with The Design & Technology Association we hope
Inspiring invention through story: The Inventor’s Workshop by Ruth Amos, Ruth Amos’s The Inventor’s Workshop offers design and technology teachers an engaging way to introduce invention, creativity and problem solving in the classroom. Blending storytelling with practical insight, the book supports pupils in understanding how ideas develop through curiosity, testing and improvement. The story follows a group of young friends who discover an abandoned workshop filled with tools, gadgets and blueprints from a mysterious inventor. Each chapter presents a new challenge, allowing pupils to build knowledge gradually while staying absorbed in the narrative. For...
Smart mouthguards in rugby, As the Six Nations Championship gets underway, rugby’s power and precision are on full display but behind the tackles, technology is helping make the game safer. Smart mouthguards, fitted with tiny sensors, are now giving players and coaches real-time data on impacts, offering a new layer of protection on the pitch. From design to innovation Creating a mouthguard that protects teeth, fits comfortably, houses sensors and transmits reliable data is a real-world design challenge. Engineers and biomechanists worked with World Rugby to set minimum standards for impact absorption, lab...
Real-world design in action, The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial shows how design thinking, materials and user-focused research come together in real-world design. For design and technology teachers, it’s a clear way to connect classroom skills to professional practice. Tasked with creating the lightest, most responsive boot for Kylian Mbappé, the team started from scratch. A three-quarter-length Zoom Air unit supported fast movement and flexibility, while every design choice focused on the athlete’s needs, a real-life lesson in user-centred design. Materials and innovation in action Testing in the Nike Sports...
Primary pupils’ art and D&T on display, Five primary schools in Southwest London recently brought pupils’ creativity out of the classroom and into the public eye at the Penny School Gallery, Kingston College. The exhibition celebrated children’s artistic and design achievements, showcasing their imagination in both Art and Design & Technology projects. From classroom to gallery “Seeing children’s faces light up as they viewed their work in a gallery was truly heartwarming,” said Janine Pavlis, Senior Lecturer in Primary Education, Design and Technology at St. Mary’s University. “Observing their physical D&T products and design iterations...
Real-world design that solves complex problems, To mark International Design Day, Designworks, a creative consultancy working across design, engineering and modelmaking, highlights how multidisciplinary design practice brings complex ideas to life in practical, meaningful ways. Working across sectors such as medical devices, transport and consumer products, the team develops solutions that balance functionality, usability and visual clarity. Their work often involves translating highly technical concepts into accessible outputs that can be understood by clients, users and wider audiences. A key part of this process is the creation of clear visual materials, including CAD, photorealistic...
Ways of [Machine] Seeing, A creative approach to helping students question how AI shapes design As generative AI tools become increasingly common in schools, the Ways of [Machine] Seeing (WoMS) project is helping design and technology teachers explore AI literacy through creative, classroom-ready activities. Developed in collaboration with secondary school teachers, WoMS encourages students to investigate how AI systems ‘see’ the world and how those systems influence creativity, design and decision-making. Inspired by John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, the project focuses on critical thinking rather than technical expertise, helping students understand the assumptions and...
Learning with Autodesk TinkerCAD, Astrid Øie, representing Autodesk, welcomed teachers to an online webinar hosted by the Design & Technology Association to explore the diverse features of TinkerCAD.
