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...
Sustainability Series - GoneShells: the potato-based juice bottle that disappears naturally, A real-world case study for D&T lessons Tomorrow Machine, a Swedish design studio, has developed GoneShells, a juice bottle made entirely from potato that decomposes like fruit peel. Unlike most biodegradable packaging, it doesn’t require industrial composting. It can be eaten, home-composted or even dissolved under running water, offering a striking example of how design can respond to environmental challenges. For design and technology teachers, GoneShells provides a tangible, inspiring example to bring sustainability into the classroom....

From ironing boards to classroom innovation: celebrating Sarah Boone this Black History Month, This Black History Month, we turn our attention to Sarah Boone, a trailblazing inventor whose insight still resonates in design & technology classrooms today. In 1892, Boone was granted US Patent for an improved ironing board. She recognised that the existing bulky, flat boards were ill suited to pressing sleeves and fitted garments. Her design featured a narrow, curved board that corresponded to the inside and outside seams of sleeves, plus a movable support to flip the board

Big Bangs and damp squibs, Design and technology has been in the news a lot over the last couple of days - or should I say, design and technology should have been in the news a lot! First was the CBI report, 'Engineering our future,' which talks about the urgent need to address the shortage of engineering skills. In relation to schools it talks about the need for children to study 3 sciences and expanding the UTC programme. No mention of the role of D
