Two weeks ago we held an event to bring together a brilliant group of creative and inspiring people to think about the future. But more than just *think* about the future, the group was tasked with looking for ways to help represent the future – to create ideas and representations that would help other people to think about the future more critically.
One of the trends (trend 7) identified in the paper from the Scientific and Technology Subgroup is about 3D printing and plastic electornics. Both have potentially huge implications for the ways in which science, D&T and computing are taught in schools (amongst other things) – and it came to mind particularly during a meeting of the South West RDA STEM steering group yesterday, disucssing the challenges for STEM reliant businesses and the challenges for education around STEM subjects.
