Five wonder materials that could change the world, Materials such as graphene and shrilk are so new that the scientists who discovered them hardly know what to do with them – they only know they might yet transform our lives. The recent Guardian article goes on to talk about the technological, and life changing, possibilities of materials such as graphene, spider silk, metamaterials, shrilk and stanene. You might have heard of graphene, but the others? For example, shrilk can already be formed into, “...strong, transparent sheets ... that are biodegradable and even enrich the soil...

OCR Engineering and D&T Forum , The OCR Engineering and D&T Forum recently served as a focal point for exploring the future landscape of Engineering and Design & Technology. Months of planning culminated in a vibrant exchange of ideas, drawing together stakeholders from Higher Education providers, schools, colleges and industry leaders. The journey from school to industry With a keen focus on inspiring the next generation, the forum posed crucial questions such as, "What is the future of engineering?" and "How can we better inspire young people to become engineers?" ...
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 the first...

Sustainability Series - Ceramegg: turning eggshells into sustainable tableware, Created by Oliwia Ostaszewska, BA Product Design Student at the University of Lincoln, Ceramegg began as a personal observation of household egg consumption. What started at home quickly developed into a deeper investigation into the environmental impact of eggshell waste on an industrial scale. This realisation became the starting point for Ceramegg, a project that transforms calcium-rich waste into biodegradable material that is both functional and beautiful. Understanding the problem: eggshell waste Eggshells may seem small, but the scale of waste from the food industry is significant....
James Dyson Foundation: Free Primary D&T Course , The James Dyson Foundation, renowned for its support of engineering and design education, recently hosted an engaging and informative full-day primary Design and Technology (D&T) course at its headquarters in Malmesbury.
