Young Foresight

Young Foresight is a revolutionary project aimed at giving secondary school students direct experience in all the skills needed to create a successful product or service from conceptualisation, to design, to adaptability in the market place.

Young Foresight is designed to sit within the Design & Technology curriculum at Key Stage 3. Students are taught how to work collaboratively and design products and services for the future using new and emerging technologies as the starting point. An independent evaluation carried out by the Open University has shown that this activity enhances creativity and develops design ability. Teachers are provided with multimedia resources, supported in this work by ambassadors from industry and both receive dedicated training and follow up support.
