This edition of Futureminds is a special bumper edition - we asked people to write about their vision for the future of D&T. There are almost 20 interesting and different visions.

This summer 2018 edition has articles about drones from Airgineers and Skillsupply, 3D printing from Learnbylayers, the future of textiles from the Textiles Academy, food science from the Food Teachers Centre and the Institute of Food Science and Technology, how to make stuff and save money from TechSoft and some H&S tips from our small print.

This edition of Futureminds has contributions about the future of D&T, novel project ideas, plastic recycling, 3D printing, extraction, food and textiles.

There are also the usual updates from our work, including about our move to the new makerspace.
