Despite its vital role, Design and Technology education is facing declining funding, reduced curriculum time and a growing shortage of specialist teachers. We are working to reverse this by providing expert training and CPD, developing industry-inspired classroom resources, advocating for D&T at government and policy level, strengthening links between education and industry, and raising awareness of the subject’s value. Your support helps us extend our reach, strengthen our impact and secure a thriving future for D&T in every school.

By supporting the Design & Technology Association, you're helping to nurture the next generation of makers, designers, engineers, and change-makers. We believe the subject is essential for equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to shape the world around them. From sustainability and digital fabrication to practical making and critical thinking, D&T prepares learners for life beyond the classroom. But we can’t do it alone.
