The BOX includes a set of gloves and glasses that mimic the effects of human aging &#8211; the gloves restrict dexterity in a similar way to arthritis; while the glasses mimic the way vision declines from the age of 47.<br \/>\nImmersion in these and other creative\/analytical tools contained in the BOX become the starting point to authentic engineering design challenges.<br \/>\nTo help ensure that the case studies and challenges are authentic, leading engineering companies helped to develop the teaching resources:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cambridge Design Partnership contributed real-world industry case studies to inspire the students, including the design of Dulux PaintPod, a self-cleaning powered painter; and the Waterpebble, a small device with complex electronics to measure water usage in the shower. \u201cWe enjoyed the opportunity to demonstrate how interesting product development and engineering work can be, and share this in the classroom,\u201d a spokesman said.<\/li>\n<li>Heba Bevan, PhD Researcher in Low-power Wireless Sensor Networks at the University of Cambridge\u2019s Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction, said: \u201cEngaging with students in a creative and relevant way at the age of 13 and 14 is critically important to develop analytical skills and a lifelong love of problem solving. These workshops create a different atmosphere for learning, encouraging teamwork, innovation, and thinking about problems in a multi-dimensional way rather than in a linear input-output manner. I believe that widespread implementation of DOT will lead to an significant increase in the number of students that pursue careers in science and engineering.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>BT, Marshalls and Chesapeake also supported the development of DOT in a Box.<br \/>\nThe project has been piloted in a range of schools, including a number from Cambridgeshire to make sure that the resources work for teachers and pupils.<br \/>\nThe most recent pilot was funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering through its Ingenious grant scheme.<br \/>\nIan Hosking, Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge\u2019s Engineering Design Centre, said: &#8220;Everything is designed. It is how we shape the world around us. Designing Our Tomorrow is about equipping students to design their futures and in particular address the global challenges of population ageing and environmental sustainability.&#8221;<br \/>\nBill Nichol, Lecturer in Design Education at the University of Cambridge\u2019s Faculty of Education, said \u201cAlthough 71% of 13 and 14 year olds interviewed for the project said that engineering was \u2018cool\u2019, less than half felt challenged by their lessons and only 38% said they were considering a career in design and technology.<br \/>\n\u201cBy developing and delivering inspirational resources for teaching Design &amp; Technology at Secondary level, DOT hopes that all Key Stage 3 students will enjoy challenging lessons and be inspired to consider design as a real and rewarding career path.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-cc-attribute-text field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\nThe text in this work is licensed under a <a class=\"cam-external\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Creative Commons Licence<\/a>.

DOT has developed its resources with industry experts, teachers and pupils. DOT partners bring authentic engineering practice into the classroom. It is made an integral part of the lessons through informing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thinking Tools (not just hand-tools)<\/li>\n<li>Process and methods<\/li>\n<li>Project case studies<\/li>\n<li>Engineer profiles and careers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The DOT teaching philosophy is backed up by academic research. DOT resources map to the new National Curriculum and GCSE Specifications for D&amp;T in England and Wales and align with the STEM agenda.<\/p>\n<h2>The Hole at the Heart of STEM<\/h2>\n<p>Science and maths help to explain the world around us and engineering and technology applies this knowledge to solve problems. Much of STEM teaching fails to address the societal need and context which makes learning meaningful. DOT understands that context is critical to the engagement of pupils and as such immerses them in the solving of real-world problems.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1524327372002_109\" class=\"col sqs-col-6 span-6\">\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_35_1498642229967_23041\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>The Faculty of Education and the Engineering Department started collaborating in 2009 bringing together two long-term, world-class areas of research in inclusive design and creativity in education. This led to an initial EPSRC funded project called Designing Our Tomorrow (DOT) in conjunction with Loughborough University and the Royal College of Art who were partners in the inclusive design research through the i-design programme.<br \/>\nSince this initial project the DOT team has worked on various projects with partners to develop resources for schools leading<br \/>\nto their public launch in May 2017 to address the needs of the revised Design &amp; Technology Curriculum.<\/p>\n<h2>DOT Partners<\/h2>\n<p>DOT looks to partners to bring authentic problems and practice into the classroom, providing early secondary school students with a way to affect the world around them through engineering and design. Partners to date have included: ARM; Peter Brett Associates; RAEng; Engineering, EPSRC; ESRC; and British Printing Industry Federation.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey SislerIDM students, preparation begins today.
