Somehow, another year has passed, and it's time to look back on Designed for Life across 2024. Over the year, we released sixteen new episodes, reached over 31,000 streams, reached new audiences in Asia and America and, most importantly, got to speak with some amazing and inspiring guests.   In this end-of-year episode, we look back and have selected clips from a range of conversations, including fashion and textile expert Amanda Riley, AUB lecturer and modelmaker Claire Holman, Denimolite founder and designer Josh Myers, Marloe watch co-founder and designer Gordon Fraser, Pipsqueak founder and owner Nick Ford, Head of Learning and Development at UKBIC Jonty Deeley Williamson and last (but not least) Greenpower CEO Barnabas Shelbourne. I have tried to pick clips that stood out over the year and have hopefully combined these into a reflective podcast that epitomises our mission at the Design and Technology Association to better connect the worlds of business and education. So one last time in 2024, get those earbuds in, grab the dog for a walk, take us to the gym or pull up a chair and grab some 'me time' as you listen to Designed for Life wrapped 2024. With sincere thanks to The Edge Foundation, who first joined us in the autumn of 2024 and have assisted the podcast's journey to this stage, without your help and support, this would not have been possible.We look forward to new adventures in 2025. 

Imagine accidentally being put off from a career in engineering by your brilliant grandfather who, without realising, made a career in the sector sound unreachable. Hepzi Rattray is a structural engineer with the global engineering company Ramboll, but for many years, she attempted to avoid following this career trajectory.In this penultimate podcast of 2024, we follow Hepzi's journey from school, where she turned down the offer of a top private school to attend Lady Margaret's, a church-state school in Parsons Green, West London. Some unexpected AS results forced something of a rethink and pointed her towards a somewhat unique engineering degree at Glasgow University.Even as Hepzi progressed through the course, she was still uncertain if this was the career for her. Her mind finally made up when she undertook a placement at Ramboll, and everything finally dropped into place.In this conversation, you will hear Hepzi's passion for her work, the strong relationship between engineering and her other passion, music, and why she is determined to use her position to inspire others into the profession.So pull up a chair, grab a drink and a mince pie (there must be one left), and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Structural Engineer Hepzi Rattray.  https://www.ramboll.com/Thanks as always go to The Edge Foundation for their unwavering support that makes this podcast possible.

In this episode, we turn to Food and Nutrition in the school curriculum and look at the challenges facing this aspect of National Curriculum education. Over the last few weeks, I have been fortunate to be introduced to Leith's Education and walked through their curriculum resources from KS1 to Post 16 (and extracurricular). These come at a cost (see below), but having seen them, I believe these are resources that every school should at least consider. See https://leiths.com/We also discuss how Leith's has partnered with Roehampton University to create a new PGCE course aimed at increasing the number of teachers qualifying in this area over the coming years. Alongside this, there is a Level 7 course suitable for those perhaps without a degree but with life experience and other qualifications that can assist their pathway into teaching.  Leith's Education has supplied the following information:Leiths Education has been working with schools for over 25 years and has grown from the renowned culinary school founded by Prue Leith in 1975. Its work is all about helping schools deliver exceptional cookery teaching for children and young people of all ages.Food education faces significant challenges with steadily reducing numbers of specialist teachers in secondary schools, few practical cookery lessons in primary schools, and insufficient facilities and equipment in many schools. To help reverse these trends, Leiths has teamed up with the University of Roehampton to introduce two new national qualifications to help fast-track the recruitment and training of food teachers.For more information, visit https://leiths.com/explore/professional-development/Course costs (for more details, please see Leith's Education website).Registration FeeOnly for schools delivering the below accredited and life skills cookery coursesLeiths Education Standard Package £3,250Accredited courses - a total of 3 visits over the duration of the courseLife Skills courses - a total of 2 visits over the duration of the courseCookalong CoursesPer annum subscription, no limit on student numbers (no registration fee required)Leiths Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 Curriculum £395Leiths Key Stage 3 Curriculum £595Leiths Co-Curricular Cookery £595Student Assessment FeesPayable per student, this fee covers all course-specific costsAccredited Cookery CoursesLeiths CTH Level 3 Extended Certificate in Professional Cookery £545Leiths CTH Level 2 Certificate in Culinary Skills £345So sit back and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Maria Dunbar, Director of Education at Leith's Education. Thanks, as always, to the Edge Foundation for their continued support of Designed for Life.

Talk about battery power and people's attention automatically turns to electric vehicles, but in reality, this is one sector of a rapidly growing market. With this growth, there is an increasing need for young people to enter the sector and help design and make the power plants of the future. In this episode, we talk with Jonty Deely Williamson, who heads up learning and development at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) Previously a science teacher, he has worked in Learning & Development for more than a decade in the rail construction, high-speed rail, food manufacturing and battery manufacturing sectors. Working on various projects including the Elizabeth line, HS2 skill development, installation of a new food manufacturing line, and supporting skills from operatives to directors, his role at UKBIC is to develop battery manufacturing skills and training courses at all levels for the UK.UKBIC is a key part of the UK government-funded Faraday Battery Challenge, which has been delivered by Innovate UK on behalf of UK Research and Innovation, with the aim of building a high-tech, high-value, high-skill battery industry in the UK. So sit back, grab 50 minutes to yourself and enjoy Designed for Life, in conversation with Jonty Deeley Williamson.Thanks as always to The Edge Foundation for making these conversations possible.

In this episode, we talk with Nick Ford, founder of the design studio Pipsqueak and IP development specialist. Nick talks us through his school education, which took place at a time when neurodiversity was not so easily recognised or accounted for. Several very diverse jobs followed as Nick sought to find his way in the world of work from a mechanics role that wasn't quite what he thought it would be to a cleaner in an engine machine shop and a motorcycle courier. Whilst it is safe to say that none of these roles offered Nick what he was looking for, he gave each role his all, picked up information, and learned from each one. All of the above eventually led to the creation of a company that designed and made working showpieces and exhibits for museums. It was leading up to the Millennium, and a lot of business and money was available to mark the start of a new age. Sadly, Nick and his business partner failed to see the inevitable shutting off of this ready income stream. The once highly profitable business quickly lost cash flow, and the company had to close as a result. Thanks must go to Nick for being so open about how this happened and for sharing the learning and scars that live to this day.  And so, finally, to Pipsqueak. I won't tell you how this new company got its enigmatic name—it's a great story that we include in the pod—but I would implore you to look at the diversity of projects that this design company involves itself in at https://www.pipdev.co.uk.We cap this conversation off by discussing Nick's newly established company, Patentferret, created to help smaller designers and entrepreneurs protect their IP, a problematic field for many. We also discuss how Nick has helped over twenty school students with work experience and has used design principles to create a structure around this work, linking school students with university undergraduates seeking a working studio experience. This is a wide-ranging and, I believe, really enthralling conversation with a designer who loves what he does and is leaving a legacy that continues to develop and grow through his work. So sit back, put those earbuds in place and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Nick Ford. As always, thanks to The Edge Foundation for their continued support of Designed for Life. www.pipdev.co.ukwww.patentferret.co.uk

In this episode, we start a series in which we will talk with Design & Technology Association Trustees about their careers to date and the reasons why being a Trustee of the Association and being connected to its work is important to them. We start this series by talking with Bill Williams, Chair of D&TA Trustees.Bill is an experienced CEO across the manufacturing and engineering sectors.

In this episode, we are delighted to talk with Dawn Foxall and Roy Ballam about the recently released paper commissioned by the Textiles Skills Centre, 'Unravelling the Fabric of Textiles Education'.  As we seek to move the subject forward, building from the bottom up being our approach at the Association, we need to carefully look at where textiles fits into primary and secondary education. Our view is that we want to keep textile education within design and technology, a position that is perhaps challenged by the large number of textile teachers who are now delivering examinations within art and design in secondary education. We were, therefore, somewhat relieved and delighted that this report strongly indicates that textile teachers have moved predominantly for the assessment methodology adopted through art & design and a strong desire to "teach to their expertise" at KS4 and KS5. A large majority have stated in this report that they would come back to design and technology if the examination requirements were adapted to allow them to do this within the subject; this giving us a clear steer as we seek to start the process of reform. We drop the normal format of the podcast and dive straight into the report on this episode; there is so much that demands discussion. Thanks to Dawn and to Roy for giving up their time to talk with me. You can download the report from the TSC: https://www.textilesskillscentre.com/As always, huge thanks to the Edge Foundation for their continued support of this podcast.

Hello and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. This episode serves as Part 2 of the Outro to Episode 60, my interview with Tolon Lijoi. In that conversation, Tolon and I discuss the polarization of the American public. In this Outro, I dive further into this division and argue that our current political split is not one of Republican vs. Democrat, but rather one of Globalism vs. Self-governance.Part 1, Episode 61 began by defining the globalist threat, and how the globalists have infiltrated American media through the CIA. I first highlighted the mainstream media oligopoly, the six media conglomerates which control 90%+ of the film, television and print content distributed. I next highlighted the role elitist organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations have played in the destruction of our free press. Next, I highlighted Blackrock, its CEO Larry Fink, and the role played by the asset management cartel in consolidating power for the globalists. I then discussed Operation Mockingbird, a CIA program to infiltrate the media, which was declassified during the 1970s Church committee hearings, and which continues to this day. I highlighted the ongoing lies perpetuated by the mainstream media with the case study of Ivermectin, the miracle drug labeled a horse dewormer by the Mockingbird media during the pandemic. I then provided evidence that Anderson Cooper is acting as an agent of the CIA, with investigative journalism from Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change and testimony from German reporter Udo Ulfkotte.I next discussed the role the CIA has played in Silicon Valley since its infancy, then dive into specific examples of the Big Tech oligopoly's corruption. First, we discussed Microsoft and its founders/robber-barons Bill Gates & Paul Allen. I then highlighted Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn, and the elitist organization Bilderberg Group. Part one of the Outro concluded as we considered DARPA, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and the disturbing prevalence of child sexual abuse material on Meta's platforms.Part 2 begins with a discussion of the PayPal mafia, Palantir, and its founders Peter Thiel & Alex Karp. I then highlight the corruption and censorship rampant at Google and supported by its founders/executives Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt. I then discuss the Jeffrey Epstein funded Edge Foundation, and the evidence the Edge annual Billionaire Dinners were used by Epstein as an influence/blackmail operation to extend his human trafficking network into Silicon Valley. The discussion on Silicon Valley and the CIA wraps as I highlight Twitter / X, Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk, and Disney. The Outro ends with an appeal to क्षत्रिय Kshatriya, the spirit of the cosmic warrior.Music: Intro: Ben Fox - "The Vibe".

Where was the first music concert you ever attended? Who was the artist? Who did you see this artist/band with? And finally, how did you feel as you left the gig? If you are like me and love your live music, these are questions that will roll off the tongue. For me, it was the Police. I was fifteen years old and with my best mate from school, the gig was at Hammersmith Odean, and it left me buzzing and wanting more!In this podcast, we are in conversation with Becky Pell. Becky is a sound engineer touring internationally with some of the biggest names in music. In this conversation, we trace her journey from school to a career that drew her in from her very first concert as a fifteen-year-old, where she saw A-ha live and found her attention split between Morten Harket and the other band members and the engineers working the sound desk in front of her. As she left that concert with her dad, her mind was made up; this was the career for her!Through this conversation, we gain a glimpse of what life ‘on the road' is like, explore what it takes as a woman to carve out a career in what is sadly still a male-dominated profession and hear from Becky about the pure joy of her job as she watches thousands of people enjoy the night of their lives...partly because she has done her job well, allowing the performers to do what they do to the very best of their ability. This is a joyful podcast and one that will change the way that you look at the engineers working at a concert the next time you listen to live music. So grab the dog lead and plug us in your ears, take us to the gym, or just sit back and relax and listen to Designed for Life in conversation with Becky Pell.

This is part two of a two-part mini-series in which we explore the development of the design and technology curriculum offer at Hethersett Academy in East Anglia. If you have not yet listened to part one, I suggest you go back and listen to this first, as there is something of a sequence. In this episode, we follow on from our conversation with Kate Finlay, Head of Department and Trust Curriculum Lead by talking with students, parents, the design and technology staff and the Headteacher.  Through these conversations we gain a full picture of how the curriculum has developed at Hethersett, the value of D&T to all concerned and gain some wonderful insights from students. So sit back, relax and listen to Designed for Life - In conversation with the staff, students and parents from Hethersett Academy. Huge thanks to all the staff and students at Hethersett for their help and co-operation to make this pod possible, and as always thanks to The Edge Foundation for the continued support that makes these podcasts possible.  https://www.hethersettacademy.org/

In this episode, I was delighted to be in conversation with Jennifer Campbell, Managing Director of Giles Agency Hong Kong. In the pod, we track Jen's journey from rural Berkshire through the discovery that her natural penchant to quickly strike up conversations with people, together with an ability to sell and the tenacity to hang on in there when sales didn't go as planned, could actually become a career. A move to a large agency in London (she wasn't aware quite how big a deal this was until friends were surprised that she had secured the position) allowed her to really learn the business of marketing, enhancing her natural abilities and, along the way, having fun doing so. A strong desire to somehow be involved in the 2012 London Olympics saw Jen shift jobs and work on the marketing campaign for one of the event's major sponsors. Then came a move abroad with a desire to be closer to family in Australia, seeing Jen move to take up a role in Hong Kong, where she has laid routes and is now MD at The Giles Agency, a role that she has held since October 2018. Jen has also teamed up with colleagues to run a business marketing podcast, 'The Disconnected,' available wherever you stream your podcasts (Looking at social and tech trends in marketing). If you are interested in digital marketing and want to learn more about the journey from mainstream education into the industry, do give this a listen. Thank you to Jen for reaching out and being such a great guest to chat with and, of course, to the Edge Foundation, whose support allows us to keep creating these conversations.

Hello and welcome to Entangled! The podcast where we explore the science of consciousness, the true nature of reality, and what it means to be a spiritual being having a human experience. I'm your host Jordan Youkilis, and today I'm joined by David Lawrence, author of Are We Really Biochemical Robots? In this episode, we discuss how David's conflicting perspectives with Sam Harris's book Free Will led to his own writing journey. David describes the four prongs of free will and the relationship between determinism and pattern recognition. We next discuss how the possibility of past lives, life after death, and the hard problem of consciousness factor into the deterministic argument.We discuss the possibility of God, the credibility of astrology, and how quantum entanglement could be related to astrology. From there we lament the inertia of scientific consensus and discuss the connection between free will and morality. Next, we speculate on Sam Harris's integrity and whether other influences could be impacting his perspectives on determinism. Then, we discuss David's future writings and the nature of the self. We end the conversation considering archetypes and the distinction between influence and causation. This Outro is titled Free Will, Determinism, & Natural Law.

Magway is a values-driven startup technology business situated in Wembley, North West London. Started in 2017, their staged vision is to take cargo off our roads and instead run the bulk of this cargo emissions-free on magnetic motor-driven 'trains' either set above or below ground.  They are working to drive an electrical revolution, unlock new economies and connect cities, towns and communities like never before.Cecile Searle took over as CEO in 2022, convinced by the founders that she "was already effectively doing the job anyway".  In this podcast, we follow her journey from a degree in civil engineering through a career which has focused on delivering airport and rail strategic systems projects. We also take the opportunity to explore the values that drive you as a company CEO and the concept of "leading with kindness", one that Cecile believes in deeply as she seeks to lead with both heart and head. This is a deeply insightful conversation with a sector leader seeking to quietly lead her way, as Magway look to fulfil their ambition to "look back and tell our grandchildren "we did that".So grab a coffee, take the dog for a walk or take us to the gym and listen to Designed for Life in conversation with Cecile Searle. https://www.magway.com/The Design and Technology Association is indebted to the Edge Foundation for their continued sponsorship of the Designed for Life series of podcasts.

Twin brothers Richard and Antony Joseph are founders and owners of one of the world's most iconic and innovative kitchenware brands. In this podcast, we are fortunate to be in conversation with Richard Joseph, who takes us through his journey from school, where design and technology played a key role in setting his future direction as a designer, through the early days of Joseph Joseph selling glass chopping boards made from a raw material donation from their father's factory. Through to today and running a successful and innovative design business with over two-hundred mission-driven staff across continents. This conversation provides an amazing insight into the development and carefully planned growth of a design business, a business where 'form follows function' is something of a mantra, and why Joseph Joseph endeavour to take often complex designs just that little bit further in development than their competitors in order to fulfil this design promise to their customers.   It also provides insight into how a successful business can be managed and led by twin brothers by splitting tasks and responsibilities but keeping design at the epicentre of every decision taken. Finally, we get an insight into the future of Joseph Joseph as Richard describes his passion for the company's products to use research and mission prioritisation to help solve some of the sustainability issues created by a capitalist and sales-led society. This was a great conversation to start 2023, I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation, and I know you will too.  This podcast has been recorded with the help of our sponsors, The Edge Foundation https://www.edge.co.uk/ inspiring the education system to give all young people across the UK the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to flourish in their future life and work and PTC Onshape Providing industry-standard cloud-based CAD to education  https://www.ptc.com/en/news/2020/ptc-onshape-education-enterprise-plan-available-free-of-charge. We are indebted to The Edge and PTC Onshape for their continued support.References within this podcast:https://www.josephjoseph.com/

It's that time of year again when we track back over the nineteen podcasts released so far this year (with more still to come before 2023) and pick out some of the best bits to string together into an end-of-year compilation.This is always a difficult task, but this year it has proved to be even more so, with some amazing guests providing brilliant thought pieces within the pods. That said, I had to pick some favourite clips out, and this podcast takes you back through the year, starting in February 2022 and finishing with a clip from just a few weeks ago. In the podcast, you will hear from Industrial Designer Jonathan Robin, talking first about the difficulty of that middle stage of any design project, which can feel like wading through treacle until you can see the light on the other side, and then discussing the 'theatre' of some designs and why keeping it simple is more likely to produce a classic design of note that will stand the test of time. George Cave (interaction magic) speaks of how D&T A Level set him on a path to where he is today and discusses the importance of empathy and emotion in design. " "Never mind how it looks for a moment; how does it make you feel?"Jamie Robinson (Mashoom) asks why we ask teenagers, "what are they going to do with their life" and the importance of solid foundations that you can build on later.Matthew Cockerill explains what lies "left of brief" and why it is so important to carefully consider this before driving on with possible solutions to an identified problem. And then discusses how Design can be a significant part of the solution to many of the environmental issues that the earth currently faces. Professor Ian Green MBE discusses why it is important for business and industry to work closely with education if we are to have any chance of improving diversity figures and making a career in engineering/manufacturing attractive to as wide a talent pool as possible. Carra Santos MSc talks of the importance of creativity within education as we seek to prepare young people to take their place in a challenging, troubled and fast-changing world.And we end with a gem of a quotation from the podcast with Will Butler-Adams, CBE Chief Executive Officer at Brompton Bicycle Ltd. I would like to thank all the above and all guests of Designed for Life across 2022 for their expert input and for making themselves available to chat on the podcast; you are all amazing! Finally, I would like to thank all listeners for your support over the year. Together with our sponsors, The Edge Foundation and PTC Onshape, we have even more ambitious plans for 2023! Until then, please do take care. 

Welcome into 2023, and on behalf of everyone at the D&T Association, I would like to wish you all a happy, healthy and peaceful new year! The First episode of 2023 and the first in season three welcomes Matt Hewison as our guest. Matt is the Co-founding Director of Cyberwhite, a disruptive provider of security services and risk mitigation technologies based in the North East but working with SMEs and larger organisations across the UK. This is the first time that Designed for Life has explored the world of cyber security as we seek to explore the range of possible careers that could emanate from a design and technology education. Matt talks us through his journey through an education that failed to deliver in many ways to an accidental path into the IT industry, initially in sales but later specialising in cyber technologies and business ownership. This podcast provides a look into a field that most of us are more than aware of but know very little about while at the same time covering the journey to self-employment and entrepreneurship, not for the first time on this podcast described as "an itch that I felt compelled to scratch". At the end of this pod, we track back to a podcast released at the end of last year featuring Lynne Elvins and the Werkhouse activity that was just about to break when we released the podcast back in November. Now, post-event, we can reveal the brief presented to students, and Lynne joins us again to talk us through the weekend's events. (Please note we had a few technical issues with Lynne's recording, please excuse us if the sound quality is not up to usual standards).
