This guide explains how to set up a system using QR codes for teaching and for technician use.

The code can be used to access an online document related to the piece of equipment to which it is assigned. The document can be used to present information for pupils, or to aid a technician in carrying out their servicing and maintenance work.

In this edition we give you the latest on development of the new GCSE for D&T and overview of the latest training availbe from CLEAPSS. There's some helpful advice on workshop maintenance including sing QR codes. We provide a range of resources to support food and textiles and a project idea to make your own “motorised vehicle” in 10 easy steps as well as the usual health and safety updates.

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.
