Member testimonials
"The D&T association has become an invaluable resource for supporting and advancing Design & Technology (D&T) across the trust I work for. Whether in primary or secondary education, the skills, knowledge, resources, and guidance they provide are truly exceptional. The team at the association is incredibly friendly and approachable, always going above and beyond to offer the support you need.
Personally, I believe that two standout resources have made a significant impact: Projects on a Page for primary and Inspired by Industry for secondary. These resources offer exactly what’s needed at each educational level, ensuring high-quality teaching that meets and exceeds the national curriculum requirements." - Drew Wicken,, Director of Design &Technology and Vocational Education at Co-op Academies.

I started working with the Year 6 children to introduce the 'Tinkercad' program. They were very enthusiastic, and I was very impressed with how they embraced their new learning.... The Design and Technology Associations' resources have certainly made the delivery of the CAD lessons manageable and less frightening - Marie Myers, St Dominic Catholic Primary School
It has been wonderful to see the awe and wonder on the pupils' faces and to see them get so excited and be so enthusiastic about their learning. - Sophie Porteous, Christopher Pickering Primary School
