This document identifies some of the important things that should be considered prior to embarking on the design and build of a new practical space for D&T or food.

 

D&TA is a membership organisation providing advice, support and training for those involved in teaching design, engineering and technology.

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.

CLEAPSS frequently receives requests for guidance on many aspects of the role of technicians in design and technology, including such matters as job descriptions, pay and conditions and the number of technicians that should be employed.
