A great (if not slightly chilly) INSET day at @Grafton_Primary for @DTassoc today! It may be the first day back, but it's a hall full of happy faces and lots of activity as we work through what makes D&T excellent!

Great contexts our students loving the Scalextric assessable controller project. Having real designers and real world examples makes a big difference. Just started CAD and being able to say we’re using the same software as @Scalextric blew them away. @PTC_Creo @PTC_Education

I wonder if in the future, GenAi companies will be held accountable for contaminating the useful internet to this level. Especially, as searches of basic things are now littered with GenAi slop.
Like a devastating environmental oil spill, but for our information systems.

What an amazing D&T Conference day we had. Our keyspeaker, Paul Woodward, inspired us all and gave us lots of food for thought. It was great to share good practice and for primary and secondary colleagues to network together. @OPA_Newstead @DTassoc @Mr_Andrews
