Want a job? We need D&T teachers!, The most important educational resource of all is a supply of dedicated, highly skilled, motivated and committed teachers. This is never more the case than when it comes to the teaching design and technology in secondary schools. Yet we are possibly approaching what could well be a national recruitment crisis. For the second year running, teacher training recruitment is showing signs of falling well below target. (Last year less than half the places for initial teacher training in D&T were filled.) Training institutions are once again predicting short falls,...
Is MDF safe to use in school workshops? , Much media attention has been drawn towards MDF and the hazards associated with its use in schools, although there is no evidence that calls for it to be removed entirely from use in schools, it’s use does raise serious concerns. Hardwood dust is classified in COSHH as carcinogenic, and softwood is now a suspect carcinogen, although not defined as such in COSHH. Thus under risk assessment procedures substitution by natural wood may not eliminate the problem. Serious concern has been raised over the dust created...

Inspired by Industry Thrive Wearables, Inspired by Industry: Thrive Wearable TechnologyThis context has been put together to allow a range of opportunities for students to explore modern technology through the use of wearable technology. The outcomes are to be conceptual and may not be fully working. For example, if a heart monitor was to be explored, the prototype may detect movement such as with an accelerometer in a micro:bit or a tilt-switch for a Crumble. Whilst this may not be a true representation of how it is done, to allow a concept to emerge it would be suitable for...

Sound Engineer, Becky Pell, In this podcast, we are in conversation with Becky Pell. Becky is a sound engineer touring internationally with some of the biggest names in music. In this conversation, we trace her journey from school to a career that drew her in from her very first concert as a fifteen-year-old, where she saw A-ha live and found her attention split between Morten Harket and the other band members and the engineers working the sound desk in front of her. As she left that concert with her dad, her mind was made up; this was...
