Designing our Tomorrow: Resources to inspire the next generation of engineers

New resources designed to inspire the next generation of engineers by bringing authentic engineering challenges into the classroom have been launched by the University of Cambridge.

These workshops create a different atmosphere for learning, encouraging teamwork, innovation, and thinking about problems in a multi-dimensional way.

Designing our Tomorrow (DOT) is a joint project of the Department of Engineering and the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge.

Working in partnership with leading engineering companies and local schools, DOT has developed a distinctive teaching approach and a unique set of resources, ‘DOT in a Box’, for teachers to use in Key Stage 3 Design and Technology classes.

The three boxes being launched are: Inclusive Design, Sensor Circuits and Picture Holders. Each box includes a complete set of teaching resources, which would normally cover 12 D & T lessons.
