Hi Design and Technology teachers

You may be interested in reading about an Open Source project - a next
generation Personal Fabrication device which merges some of the more
recently developed technologies.

Another good resource for Design and Technology is the Australian
International Design Awards 2013 from Good Design Australia, published as a
journal/magazine and available in newsagents. It can be purchased for $9.95.
It contains photographs and brief descriptions of the awards in a number of
categories, evaluated by a jury of design experts from industrial design,
engineering, architecture, software and electronics design, service design,
design strategy and communications design.
Product categories include; Domestic appliances, Consumer electronics,
Houseware and objects, Babies and children, Fashion and accessories, Sport
and leisure, Automotive and transport, Commercial and industrial, Medical
and scientific, Hardware and building, Furniture and lighting, and
Architecture and interiors.

Lots of great examples for students to analyse and evaluate!
