Today was the last day of the The Design and Technology Association specific training we have been running in Manchester for the Pioneers Partnership SCITT. It's been a fantastic experience and I'm confident that the course has produced young teachers co…https://t.co/lt33mv5mzF
Always my intention to return to the UK to try to improve the quality and provision of design education, so I'm proud to have been able to develop the D&T specialist training for this SCITT. https://t.co/vKzxkiUj9n
I'm pleased to share this little STEM resource with CREATE Education Project. As a The Design and Technology Association blueprint partner, they loan 3D printers to schools and this resource was designed to provide quick and easy a…https://t.co/20pxeagJmu https://t.co/R3OpXvLJe1
The mechanical box (MEKBOX) is now available in my TES shop. Intended for primary teaching it also covers much of what it needed for KS3 (and a bit of KS4) in terms of mechanism and motion :-) Designed for acrylic but could be made from thick card or plyw…https://t.co/efERWblzo5
Really enjoying training in the primary sector and getting lots of ideas for resources that would help to explore different aspects of the curriculum. This is so simple, a few 3D printer connectors and some cheap wooden skewers and you have a re-usable re…https://t.co/e7JZIUiUtY
More ideas for low cost resources for Primary Schools. I know quite a few have, or are considering, getting a 3D printer but are not sure how or why they would use it. This is a set of simple connectors that will work with readily available wooden skewers…https://t.co/OEfirHX7ct

The USB lantern project will always be a reminder of how we had to adapt to the pandemic in schools, with D&T being one subject that could easily have suffered much more than others. It's so nice to finish my time in the classroom with a great set of lant…https://t.co/2mkzY5Y5pO
