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...

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...
Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies, Willy Wonka's Fair Trade Cookies Year 5-6Age 9-11 First published 2011 This project is adapted from unit 5D and focuses on developing children’s skills, knowledge and understanding of food, building on previous learning in which children prepared food products using simple processes. Children learn how to adapt a basic recipe to develop a product with specified criteria. Investigation of existing products, including fair trade, will inform design ideas. There are opportunities to apply maths by measuring accurately, converting measures and applying ratio and proportion to recipes. ...
Showcasing your department virtually, How can we make sure that those who make important decisions about what we do understand the quality and range of work we are involved in? Ofsted After securing the best possible examination results each year, the most significant driver impacting on teaching and learning in school is achieving a ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ grade as a result of the Ofsted inspection. How we organise, manage and make provision for subjects in the school is scrutinised under a ‘Section 5’ inspection. Although D&T is not considered, or indeed reported...

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...
Supporting Creativity and Protection at New Designers 2025, The latest instalment of New Designers 2025 brought together recent graduates, lecturers and industry professionals at the Business Design Centre.

Among those attending was Laura, CEO of Anti Copying in Design (ACID). It was a pleasure to catch up with her and learn more about ACID’s work supporting young designers. Their presence at the show served as a...
Starting Points for Designing, Detailed below are some suggested starting points that are presented as visual brainstorms which the teacher can use with the class to explore the context and identify many different sorts of product that could be designed and made. They give pupils an opportunity to decide what sort of product they want to design and make. The exact nature of the products designed and made will depend on the age and previous experience of the pupils and resources available in the school. These starting points have been...
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...
