This edition of Futureminds has been put together during the Covid19 lockdown. There are articles from DATA, the Textiles Academy, British Nutrition Foundation, Food Teachers Centre, Learnbylayers, STEM centre, and Boyd Education. There is also the news from CLEAPSS and the smallprint.

Welcome to the first issue of FutureMinds where we review a range of resources to support 3D printing including a novel use in Textiles. We also showcase the Greenpower racing challenge and give you some Food and Textiles updates.

This term, Futureminds has articles about the use of Hydrogen as a fuel, the difficulties for D&T, Equality and Diversity, Design Ventura, virtual F1 in schools, technicians tips, the Tunnock Tea Cake challenge, and, of course, the small print.

The spring edition of Futureminds has articles from a range of contributors, with advice about writing assessments, the history of the 555 timer chip, how to use exercise books in D&T, Scalextric4Schools, The Design Ventura challenge, news from the Food Teachers Centre and a guide to LEV testing, plus the usual smallprint, and look out for something a bit different on the last page...
