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...
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.

Design against the smoke, How clean cookstoves are changing lives Today, on International Day of Clean Energy, attention turns to solutions that protect people and the planet. Household air pollution is a silent killer in many parts of Africa, linked to over one million deaths each year. Women and children are disproportionately affected, often spending hours cooking on inefficient stoves that fill homes with toxic smoke. Mukuru Clean Stoves is changing that story through design. Turning tragedy into innovation Founded by a designer and entrepreneur whose life was shaped by fire,...
Inclusive Classoom, According to OFSTED, pupils with special educational needs make better progress in D&T than in most other subjects. This is because designing and making usable products gives pupils a real sense of achievement. They benefit from experiencing their own progress and taking responsibility for their own learning. They enjoy the practical application of their ideas. Plus, their personal engagement with the task improves attention span, patience, persistence and commitment. All of which means special needs pupils can achieve results that compare or even exceed their peers. Design and Technology offers...
Gary Frize-Williams, Having taken my A levels in technical subjects, I studied for 4 years (5 days a week 09.00 to 17.00!) the teaching of Design Technology, and gained my Honours degree from London University. I have been a teacher for all of my career and worked in five schools around the UK and one in Germany. I soon became Head of Department and I’ve been Head of Faulty for half of my career. I have always taught students from Y7 to Y13 and never been just an administrator. I have...
Steve Massey, I began my teaching career in 1991 after graduating with a B.Ed (Hons) degree in Design Technology from Liverpool John Moores University'. Prior to this, I had completed an apprenticeship in mechanical and production engineering with GEC Ruston Diesels, manufacturing slow and medium speed diesel engines for a variety of applications, including marine, rail and power generation. I am a conscientious and professional teacher and have taught a range of subjects, including all areas of Design Technology, Maths, Science, Construction, Art and ICT across the secondary age range. During this...
Teaching Sustainability Through Plastics Recycling, This on-demand webinar explores how Design and Technology can be used to turn waste materials into meaningful, sustainable products, both in the classroom and in industry. Pat Link (Neston High School) shares how students use open-source recycling technologies in the school Makerspace to transform plastic waste into new products, embedding sustainability and practical skills into the curriculum. Rory Dickens (Sustainable Design Studio) demonstrates how small-scale recycling tools, including injection moulding and 3D printing, can help students understand the journey from waste to product through hands-on learning. ...
Prototyping and developing circuits from KS3 to GCSE, Electronics can be great fun, I have never seen a pupil look disappointed when their circuit works for the first time; YOU too can enjoy the feeling by building your own circuits after my session. Session Content: This session is suitable for absolute beginners or teachers that are a bit ‘rusty’ when it comes to developing circuits It will leave you with the confidence to let pupils develop their own circuits from scratch without soldering I’ll go through what sort of kit/equipment you...
