Stuart Dashwood at Prodrive, I have been a Design Technology teacher for a little over 12 years, unlike many design technology teachers, am not an engineer, I am an arts graduate, specifically I trained as a Jewellery designer, I have sometimes felt this leaves me at a disadvantage when I am trying to guide my students, to help them make the best choices for careers and next steps after school. I am constantly fascinated by the huge number of things I discover I don’t know, particularly about entry into engineering and how to answer the question “Sir, what do...
Why has the number of teenagers taking design and technology GCSE dropped?, For some time now, the Association has been expressing concern over the inability of the subject to move forward in response to changes in National Curriculum - and I'm not simply referring to the most recent iteration, and developments in technologies, materials, processes and pedagogy. It has also warned, that in situations where this is not happening, then the very certainty of its continuation is at question. We are now regularly receiving reports of schools either considerably cutting back on provision, or in the worst cases...
Denford Primary STEM Project The Denford Primary STEM Project gives an opportunity to introduce STEM learning at an early age in a fun and exciting way. This innovative, stand-alone classroom resource also gives an ideal introduction to the new F1 in Schools Primary Class – the first step on the F1 in Schools ladder. The project brings real-life applications of STEM to your classroom. Pupils work individually, in pairs, or as a team, to design and make their own miniature racing car. They then go on to test its aerodynamic qualities using...
New report - D&T in schools fallen over last decade and will continue without government intervention, New report finds D&T take up in schools has fallen significantly over the last decade – researchers warn of a continued decline without government intervention Student entries into Design and Technology (D&T) at GCSE have halved over the last decade, new research from the Education Policy Institute (EPI) shows. 44% of students took D&T GCSE in 2009, but this fell to just 22% of students in 2020. Far fewer students are also taking D&T at A level....
Successful STEM, First published 2012 These resources include five projects which aim to inspire D&T and Science teachers to run collaborative projects between the two subjects and ensure that you can successfully deliver a STEM project to enhance the learning of your students. These examples were first taught by D&T teachers, however all rely on knowledge, resources and equipment from Science departments. Each has an introductory page, summaries of the D&T, Science and Maths aspects covered, details of the project and the school’s experience of planning an delivering it. Sound and Vision –...
STEM Accord's Bristol pilot, STEM Accord is thrilled to be holding the first of its pilots in Bristol, bringing together a FREE programme of workshops, talks and activities for schools. These will be coordinated by the STEM Accord and sessions will be provided by our partners. Our partners are: STEM Learning, Smallpeice Trust, Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), Design and Technology Association (D&TA) and the ERA Foundation. Our focus is to help schools bridge gaps in their STEM Gatsby Career Benchmarks through creating a tailor made package of activities for each school. ...

STEM into Action - Kaleidoscope, KaleidoscopeSTEM into Action with D&TAges 11-14First published 2016The kaleidoscope is an optical gadget that produces extraordinary reflective patterns in a tube containing mirrors. This resource contains a PowerPoint presentation and Word document that cover how kaleidoscopes can be made and used to help students understand the underlying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) needed to engage fully with the design context.The resource covers how reflection, viewpoints, scale and the geometry of mirrors affects how light is perceived in the context of designing and making a kaleidoscope and a smart phone attachment. The...
STEM into Action - Spin Art, Spin ArtSTEM into Action with D&TAges 11-14First published 2016A spin art machine allows paint that is dropped on to paper to fly off, creating interesting patterns. The viscosity of the paint and the speed and positioning of the spinner are factors that can change how the patterns appear. This resource contains a PowerPoint presentation and Word document that covers the science and mathematics behind viscosity, centrifuges, centripetal and kinetic forces and how these and image manipulation can help in the design of a product. The STEM into Action D&T Key Resources...
